MoDOT seeks public comment on a project to improve Highway 54 intersections in Cole County
JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is seeking public comment on a scheduled project to improve safety at two busy intersections south of Jefferson City on Highway 54.
MoDOT is looking for ways to improve Highway 54 intersections at Hickory Hills and Penny Hollow. These locations have been identified for safety enhancements due to crash frequency and severity.
Officials say construction on the intersections will involve the installation of deceleration lanes, acceleration lanes, and other intersection reconfigurations, including J-turns and the removal of crossovers.
Similar improvements along Route 54 are underway in Miller County.
The contract for this project is currently scheduled to be awarded later this year, with construction to take place in 2023.
For more on the construction and a comment form for feedback and questions are available at www.modot.org/Cole54Intersection and must comment on the project by May 20.
