U.S. Route 54 is a busy corridor in Jefferson City and several improvements are planned to enhance safety, ease congestion, and prolong the life expectancy of roads and bridges in the area.
In 2024, construction is scheduled to begin on five projects ranging from bridge rehabilitation to adding an additional lane of travel.
ONGOING CONSTRUCTION WORK
Construction of the base for a third lane on eastbound U.S. Route 54 is complete – but it will not be drivable until late summer. The base of the roadway is complete, but until the asphalt overlay is placed on top of the base, temporary traffic control devices will be in place to prevent drivers from using the unfinished lane.
UPCOMING CONSTRUCTION WORK
As construction progresses, motorists may encounter lane, ramp, and bridge closures along with narrowed lanes, width restrictions, and reduced speeds.
