COLUMBIA, Mo. – Traffic will be switched to the new Interstate 70 bridge at Business Loop on Sunday night. The bridge was slid into its permanent location on June 27.
The switch will begin at 8 p.m. on Sunday and should be completed by 5 a.m. on Monday. At that time, all on- and off- ramps at Business Loop, which currently are carrying I-70 traffic, will be closed until the new Business Loop interchange is completed on July 27.
The south outer road (I-70 Drive SW) connection to the Business Loop will also open on Monday.
In addition, motorists will experience nightly, single-lane closures on I-70 from Range Line Street to Business Loop Sunday night through Friday morning. Crews will be finishing the concrete median barrier and performing other clean-up work at Range Line and Garth.
All work is weather permitting.
When completed, the new Business Loop interchange will include two dual-lane roundabouts on the north and south sides of I-70, improved access to I-70 Drive SW and decreased traffic delays on Creasy Springs.
