JACKSON COUNTY – Crews will be completing asphalt paving that will require the CLOSURE of both the westbound and eastbound U.S. Route 50 off ramps to Chipman Rd. beginning at 6 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 16, until approximately 7 p.m. the same evening. Motorists on U.S. Route 50 will need to seek alternate routes to Chipman Road. Additionally, crews will reduce Murray Road to one lane at Chipman Road. During this time, there will be a flagging operation along Murray Road to help traffic navigate through the work zone. All work is weather permitting.
This bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges Program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. For full details, visit our project webpage.
For potential impacts to traffic, please review KC Scout cameras at http://www.kcscout.net or consult our real-time traffic partner, WAZE. Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
