Temporary traffic impacts in Wright City for soil boring as part of Improve I-70 Project #2

Hannibal - The Missouri Department of Transportation will close lanes on eastbound North Service Road and westbound Veterans Memorial Parkway in Wright City, Warren County for soil boring investigation for the Improve I-70 Project #2. All work is weather dependent and schedules are subject to change.

Tuesday, July 30 through Friday, August 2, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

These lane closures are in preparation for the Improve I-70 Project #2.

In addition, the following lane closures will affect sections of I-70 in Warren Counties:

• Crews will close a lane on eastbound North Service Road starting .3 mile after Route J for approximately 500 feet on Tuesday, July 30 through Friday, August 2, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.
• Crews will close a lane on westbound Veterans Memorial Parkway starting .52 miles before Route F for approximately 500 feet on Tuesday, July 30 through Friday, August 2, 7 a.m. to 5 p.m. daily.

The Improve I-70 Project #2 covering the eastern portion of I-70 between Warrenton and Wentzville is tentatively set for bid in late 2024 with construction tentatively set to take place 2025-2028. Missouri's FY2024 budget from the General Assembly signed into law by Governor Parson provides $2.8 billion in General Revenue for the costs to build a third lane of I-70 across the state. The program will plan, design, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, and add a third lane in each direction on nearly 200 miles of I-70, from Blue Springs to Wentzville.
