U.S. Route 54/Old Jefferson City Road Intersection Improvements in Callaway County
The addition of acceleration and deceleration lanes, installation of offset left turn lanes, and removal of the crossover on U.S. Route 54 at the intersection with Old Jefferson City Road/County Road 306 will help improve safety and traffic flow.
Project Milestones

- Installing offset left-turn lanes at Old Jefferson City Road/County Road 306.
- Pavement widening of U.S. Route 54 for the addition of acceleration and deceleration lanes.
