Route 179 to narrow south of I-70 next week

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – Westbound Missouri Route 179, east of Route V, will narrow to one lane from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily, May 11-15, for driveway work at 25518 Missouri Route 179. One lane will remain open, and flaggers will direct motorists through the work zone. Motorists can expect delays. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.  

MoDOT has issued a permit to Ameren and its contractors for this work. They expect to reopen the roadway to two-way traffic each evening. Drivers are advised to be alert, pay attention to signs and traffic control personnel, and plan ahead for potential delays. 

MoDOT asks all motorists to work with us by buckling up, putting your phone down, obeying all traffic signs, and slowing down and moving over in work zones.
