Northbound Route 65 Traffic Move to New Springfield Lake Bridge DELAYED UNTIL MONDAY NIGHT, OCT. 9
What: Northbound Route 65 traffic to move from southbound lanes to new bridge over Springfield Lake DELAYED
When: After 7 p.m. MONDAY, OCT. 9
Why: Northbound Route 65 bridge over Springfield Lake has been replaced with a new wider structure
Traffic Impacts:
- Northbound Route 65 traffic will remain two lanes across bridge until the new northbound and southbound inside lanes between Route 60 and Evans Road receive a top layer of new asphalt and receive paving striping
- Northbound Route 65 traffic will no longer shift through the median to the southbound Route 65 bridge over Springfield Lake after Tuesday, Oct. 10
- Drivers are urged to continue to use caution in the area as contractor crews finish up the six-laning project which will be completed by Nov. 1
(Weather or construction delays could alter the work schedule.)
Project Summary:
- Widen Route 65 to six lanes — three lanes in each direction — between Route 60 and a point south of Evans Road
- Widen and rehabilitate southbound Route 65 bridge over Lake Springfield to accommodate new lanes and to lengthen eastbound Route 60-to-southbound Route 65 ramp
- Replace northbound Route 65 bridge over Lake Springfield with new, wider span to replace old bridge in constant need of repair
- Extend northbound Route 65 ramps to Route 60
Prime Contractor: Emery Sapp and Sons, Columbia
