CLOSURE UPDATE: Route 50 debris removal postponed

The debris removal planned by the Missouri Department of Transportation on Route 50 from Monroe Street to Clark Avenue has been postponed until 2 p.m. This closure, affecting both Eastbound lanes, is still expected to last two hours. Motorists are advised to avoid this area. While there are no convenient detour routes around the work zone due to overnight storms causing local road closures, Route 50 eastbound traffic can take 179 south to Route B south to Route M east to Route 50 east. Westbound Route 50 in the same area is also highly congested. MoDOT asks motorists to avoid Route 50 eastbound and westbound in this area until further notice.
