Traffic shift announced for Highway 63 in Columbia next week

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A traffic shift has been scheduled next week as crews are in the final stages of building a new bridge on Highway 63 just north of Broadway in Columbia and rehabbing an overpass at Interstate 70, a Thursday Missouri Department of Transportation press release says.

On Wednesday, Aug. 13, head-to-head traffic will shift from the southbound lanes to the northbound lanes so crews can work on rehabbing the southbound overpass over I-70, the release says.

“Those who travel this area frequently, particularly northbound motorists, will see little change as entering and exiting the work zone will remain the same. All exit and entrance ramps for U.S. Route 63 are expected to remain open,” the release says.

This latest change is expected to last through September, the release says.
