MoDOT to lay out Highway 63, Route CC intersection improvements at public meeting

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Missouri Department of Transportation is working to improve a Boone County intersection after more than 11 crashes over the past five years.

The agency said in a release that a meeting is scheduled from 4:30 to 6 p.m. Dec. 9 at the Sturgeon City Hall.

MoDOT stated that it plans to remove the crossover between the northbound and southbound lanes of the highway. Both Route CC and Roy Barnes Road will have acceleration and deceleration lanes added.

The road will stay open during construction.

An exact date has not been set, but work is planned for 2026.

Meeting attendees will be able to speak with project team members, view exhibits outlining the planned work and proposed detour, ask questions and leave comments.

An online comment period started Tuesday and runs through Dec. 23.
