East Ash Street near Boone County Courthouse to be closed on April 8

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

A portion of East Ash Street and the sidewalk by the Boone County Courthouse will be closed from 6:30 a.m.-4 p.m. Wednesday, April 8, according to a press release from the City of Columbia.

Both lanes of the street and the southern sidewalk between North Seventh and Eighth streets will be closed, along with part of the northern sidewalk, the release says. Signs will direct pedestrians to alternate routes. Metered street parking will also be closed.

The release says the closures are occurring as an air conditioning unit is replaced on top of the courthouse.

Go COMO bus routes will also be affected, the release says. The Black Route will detour using Park Avenue and North Seventh Street. The Armory Sports Center stop will be moved to the west side of the intersection of North Seventh and Ash streets, the release says.

The Orange and Gold Routes – which are detoured to East Ash Street because of construction on Park Avenue – will temporarily be returned to its normal route on Park Avenue on April 8, the release says.

The release says no bus stops will be missed.
