Westbound I-70 on-ramp in Kingdom City to close Thursday

COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The Highway 54 ramp to westbound Interstate 70 in Kingdom City will close on Thursday as part of a traffic shift, according to an April 16 press release from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The north outer road is expected to stay open throughout the closure, the release says. Eastbound Highway 54 will move to the newly constructed bridge and westbound traffic will shift to the current eastbound lanes, the release says.

The Highway 54 on-ramp to Interstate 70 will be closed and the eastbound off-ramp from Interstate 70 to Highway 54 will be restricted to a “right-turn only” lane with no direct access to eastbound Highway 54, the release says.

A timeline for the closure has not been announced.
