JEFFERSON CITY – Improvements to the Dix Road bridge over U.S. Route 50, which had been scheduled to take place earlier in September, have now been slated to begin Wednesday, September 25 with a full road closure beginning in October.
Contractors working for the Missouri Department of Transportation will be making improvements to the driving surface, bridge deck, traffic signals and sidewalks. Crews will be working both day and night, with some overnight work requiring single lane closures on Dix Road and Route 50 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m.
A full closure of Dix Road at the bridge is scheduled to take place Monday, October 7. The closure could last up to 15 days. All ramps onto and off of Route 50 will remain open.
Motorists are encouraged to find other routes around the work area while the road is closed. When traveling through work zones, MoDOT urges drivers to use caution, obey all traffic signs and plan for possible delays.
The project is expected to be completed by November 1. Work is weather permitting and this work schedule could be delayed or adjusted as needed.
