Road work beginning on Highway 50 in east Jefferson City

The Missouri Department of Transportation is getting ready for road repairs along different parts of Highway 50 in east Jefferson City.

Work will start at the Route 50 intersection at Lisletown Road. Drivers should be prepared for single lane closures in the area during the work. The Lisletown Road intersection work will include adding deceleration and acceleration lanes. The project will also repair and resurface eastbound and westbound 50 from the Moreau River to the Osage County line.

Future safety improvements will also be made at the Liberty/Shamrock Road intersection. When work is completed at that intersection, MoDOT said the only traffic movements allowed will be:

· Access to Liberty/Shamrock Road on the south side of Route 50 will be reduced to right-turns only from eastbound Route 50.
· Northbound traffic on Liberty/Shamrock Road from the south side of Route 50 will be able to turn right onto eastbound Route 50.
· Westbound Route 50 traffic will be able to turn right to go north on Shamrock Road.
· Southbound traffic on Shamrock Road from the north side of Route 50 will be able to turn right onto westbound Route 50.
· Eastbound traffic on Route 50 will be able to turn left to go north on Shamrock Road.

The entire project is scheduled for completion in July.
