COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Crews are working to clear the eastbound lanes of Interstate 70 after a semi-truck crashed into the bridge at the Highway 63 connector, according to Boone County Joint Communication's Twitter.

BCJC first sent an alert about the crash shortly after 4:30 a.m. Friday.

Officials also tweeted just before 8 a.m. Friday that crews will need to shut down both eastbound lanes in order to move the trailer.

Crews with MoDOT and the Columbia Police Department were on the scene, with towing companies working to safely move the vehicle and trailer from out under the bridge.

Joint Communications asked anyone traveling in the area to consider taking an alternate route.
