Highway 54 improvements cause road and ramp closures Tuesday

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

Construction crews are moving into Phase 2 of improvements on Highway 54. Drivers may be affected by road and ramp closures.

Beginning on Tuesday, four ramps will be closed for road work on the stretch of highway near Linden Drive and Stadium Boulevard.

Closures include:

• The eastbound off-ramp to Madison Street
• The westbound off-ramp to Stadium Boulevard
• The Madison Street on-ramp westbound
• The Christy Drive on-ramp eastbound

Crews will narrow down that portion of the highway to one lane in both directions.

The Ellis Boulevard Overpass Bridge is also due for maintenance. Local crews will close down that bridge for nightly maintenance Sunday through Wednesday.

These improvements are a part of The Missouri Department of Transportation Bridge Bundle for Jefferson City. The Bridge Bundle aims to address driving surface issues on 11 bridges in Jefferson City, including deck repairs and overlays. MoDOT says the road work will help extend the life of many Jefferson City overpasses.

The Bridge Bundle is expected to be complete by October 2025.
