A left turn lane will be added to 56th St. One lane of NB/SB I-29 is closed in each direction. Underneath the bridge, 56th St. is completely closed, so motorists must follow the signed detour. This project is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program to repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. • MO 58/Big Creek: MoDOT will conduct a bridge replacement along MO Route 58 over Big Creek on the west side of Pleasant Hill.

Westbound traffic will be moved over to the eastbound lanes resulting in two- way traffic during construction of the bridges on the west side of Buckner. Eastbound traffic will be moved over to the westbound lanes resulting in two-way traffic during the construction of the railroad bridge on the east side of Buckner. Central District • I-70 Perche Creek Bridges: A bridge rehabilitation project over Perche Creek in Boone County, west of Columbia. Interstate 70 will be open to traffic during construction, but there will be various lane closures and a temporary barrier wall will be in place. Only one bridge will be under construction at a time. The I-70 eastbound on-ramp from the Midway/Route UU interchange will be closed during the rehabilitation of the eastbound bridge. Midway/Route UU traffic will be detoured to the Route O/J interchange to access eastbound I-70. These bridges are included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state. • U.S. Route 63/U.S. Route 54, Cole County: A bridge rehabilitation project over the Missouri River in Jefferson City.

This project continues work on the I-44 bridges just west of I-270 over the Meramec River. Update ramps between southbound I-270 and westbound I-44. Work requires one westbound I-44 lane closed around the clock and may require additional eastbound and westbound lane closures. Constructs shared use path and connections to existing trail ways.
