Project Construction and Traffic Impacts

 In preparation for resurfacing, construction crews began making pavement repairs on July 22. This required single-lane closures. 

Resurfacing got underway Aug. 12. Work will requires temporary lane closures and possibly some temporary narrowed lanes. U.S. Route 54 will remain open through the duration of the project. The contractor is required to work at night on certain segments of U.S. Route 54, both for the safety of the crews and to lessen traffic impacts. The hours of work will vary depending on the specific location:   

  • Night work, 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.: North of the Missouri River to south of Summit Drive.
