JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is advising Katy Trail users of work taking place on Thursday, Feb. 15, that will require the trail to be closed to the public from the town of Rocheport to the Rocheport Bridge.
The contractor overseeing construction of the new Lance Corporal Leon Deraps Interstate 70 Missouri River (Rocheport) Bridge will be pouring a bridge column near the Katy Trail. Construction vehicles will be utilizing the Katy Trail to complete the concrete work, which is part of the construction of the new eastbound bridge. For the safety of trail users, approximately 1.5 miles of the trail, from Rocheport to the bridge, will be closed from 7 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Thursday, Feb. 15.
Signs indicating the closure will be posted at Katy Trail entrances and barricades will be in place.
Interstate traffic will not be affected by the work.
The Rocheport Bridge project is expected to be completed by Dec. 31, 2024.
