One lane of a portion of eastbound Interstate 70 in Columbia will close overnight for emergency pavement repairs, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.
The closure will begin at 3 p.m. on Monday for the right lane at St. Charles Road, near mile marker 131, and will be reopened Tuesday morning when repairs are complete, according to the news release.
The area is the site of ongoing construction as part of MoDOT’s Improve I-70 Program. Construction crews tore down the St. Charles Road bridge over I-70 last month so a new bridge that’s wide enough to accommodate three lanes of travel each way underneath can be constructed.
