COLUMBIA – As part of the Boone County Route 163 (Providence Road)/Route 763 (College Avenue) Americans with Disability Act (ADA) improvements project, Southpark Drive at College Avenue in downtown Columbia will close Monday for sidewalk upgrades.
The closure of the road will begin the morning of July 29 and will reopen on the afternoon of August 2. All motorists are asked to use Ashland Road to access Southpark Drive. Message boards are in place advising motorists to use an alternate route.
This project focuses on meeting ADA requirements. Work includes making improvements to pedestrian signal systems, replacing sections of sidewalk, adding new curb ramps and creating new portions of driveways.
