COLUMBIA -- As part of the ongoing Route 763 (College Avenue) sidewalk and pedestrian improvements project in Columbia, the east entrance to Hickory Street at the intersection of College Avenue will be temporarily closing to traffic.
Crews will close the entrance to the roadway on the morning of Monday, December 2 and plan to re-open it on Monday, December 9. All properties along Hickory Street will still be accessible to traffic through other routes.
Once the work at the Hickory Street entrance is complete, crews will then close the east entrance of Wilkes Boulevard at the intersection of College Avenue during the week of December 9 for the same improvement work.
These closures will allow contractors working for the Missouri Department of Transportation to perform sidewalk improvement work that will bring the sidewalks into compliance with the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA).
All work is weather permitting and could be delayed.
