BOONE/CALLAWAY COUNTY – An effort to improve the driving surface along sections of Interstate 70 throughout Boone and Callaway County will begin next week.
Starting Monday, April 5, a contractor working for the Missouri Department of Transportation will begin making pavement repairs at various locations along both directions of the interstate between the Cedar Creek bridge, located east of Columbia, and Kingdom City.
Once that work has been completed, crews will repair pavement from the Callaway County/ Montgomery County line to the Boone County/Cooper County line. Crews will make repairs on various interstate ramps along the same stretch of roadway.
This work will require intermittent lane closures in both directions of I-70 between 7 p.m. and 6 a.m. Signs will be in place to alert motorists of the lane closures. Drivers will need to slow down and obey all signs in work zones.
These pavement repairs are part of a project that also includes upcoming I-70 resurfacing work from Kingdom City to the Boone County line. That phase of the project is expected to begin in May.
The project is expected to be completed by November 2021.
This work is weather permitting and could be delayed.
