Resurfacing of U.S. Route 54 north of the Missouri River to start next week

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - With pavement repairs wrapping up, resurfacing is scheduled to get underway next week on U.S. Route 54 in Callaway County.

Starting Aug. 12, construction crews will be working between just north of the Missouri River and Callaway County Route OO with single-lane closures. The hours of work will vary depending on the specific location:

• Night work, 7 p.m. to 6 a.m.: North of the Missouri River to south of Summit Drive.

• No work hour restrictions: South of Summit Drive to south of Route OO.

The pavement repair and resurfacing will improve both east and westbound U.S. Route 54 from the Missouri River bridges to just north of Kingdom City. The resurfacing for the full stretch of road will be completed in 2025.

Part of these lane closures will be in close proximity to two other work zones: the head-to-head traffic configuration on U.S. Route 54 south of the Missouri River and ramp restrictions north of the Missouri River at the U.S. Route 54/U.S. Route 63/Missouri Route 94 interchange. The most up-to-date information about the work taking place and the associated traffic impacts along the busy U.S. Route 54 corridor in Jefferson City can be found at www.modot.org/guide-us-route-54-improvement-projects-jefferson-city.
