Intersection of Route K, Sinclair Road and Old Plank Road closing Monday
COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)
The intersection of Route K at Sinclair Road and Old Plank Road will be closed starting Monday through August 16, weather permitting, for construction of a single-lane roundabout.
During the closure, Sinclair Road will be inaccessible from Route K. However, drivers will be able to access Old Plank Road from the west side of the intersection using a temporary road.
City officials are asking motorists to find alternate routes, and asking anyone in the work zone to use extreme caution.
Drivers needing access Sinclair can use Cascades Drive, which is east of the intersection.
This construction is part of the Sinclair Road and Route K roundabout project which includes the construction of a single-lane roundabout with splitter islands and a sidewalk at the intersection of Route K, Sinclair Road and Old Plank Road. The project will also align Sinclair and Old Plank roads.
The more than $1.6 million dollar project is funded through the 2015 Capital Improvement Sales Tax ballot as well as funding from the Missouri Department of Transportation and Columbia Public Schools.
