Traffic shift for Highway 63 in Columbia to begin Wednesday

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Expect to see more changes on U.S. 63 in Columbia on Wednesday, as the Missouri Department of Transportation continues bridge work as part of the Improve I-70 project.

Traffic will be shifting from the southbound lanes to the northbound lanes between the Broadway exit and the Vandiver Dr. exit. With this shift, crews will begin rehab work on the southbound U.S. 63 overpass bridge on Interstate 70.

According to MoDOT, all entrance and exit ramps will remain open during the work. During the traffic shift, crews will be removing the current pavement markings and restriping the road.

Drivers entering and exiting the work zone may not notice a significant change. MoDOT asks drivers to slow down, use extra caution, and be patient when traveling through the work zone. 

This latest change is expected to last through September, according to a press release from MoDOT. All work is weather-dependent and subject to change.
