J-turn on southbound U.S. 63 north of Ashland to temporarily close

During one-day closure, drivers advised to use Route H

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Due to a nearby work zone, the J-turn for southbound traffic on U.S. Route 63 to access northbound U.S. 63, located just south of Boone County Route AB, will close today, Sept. 8.

For the safety of motorists and the workers performing pavement repairs near the J-turn, crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation will close the turnaround point today, but should have it reopened by 3 p.m. This work is expected to be completed today. During the closure, motorists on southbound U.S. 63 should use Route H to access northbound U.S. 63.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
