Motorists should be prepared for upcoming lane and ramp closures on Interstate 70 as part of the ongoing project to improve the interstate between the Missouri River Bridge at Rocheport and the Lake of the Woods exit in east Columbia. The following ramps are scheduled for closure:
- The eastbound entrance ramp from Business Loop 70 to I-70, the auxiliary lane between the Business Loop and the U.S. Route 63 Connector, the exit ramp from eastbound I-70 to the Connector and the eastbound entrance ramp from the Connector to I-70 will be closed TONIGHT (Thursday, Sept. 28) from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m.
- The westbound entrance ramp from Route 763 (Rangeline Street) to I-70, the auxiliary lane between Rangeline Street and Route 163 (Providence Road), the exit ramp from westbound I-70 to Providence Road and the westbound entrance ramp from Providence Road will be closed Monday, October 2 from 7 p.m. until 6 a.m.
These schedules are tentative based on weather and the contractor’s progress. The work is part of a project to repair pavement, replace and repair guardrail and resurface the eastbound and westbound lanes of I-70. The entire project is scheduled for completion in April 2018.
