JEFFERSON CITY, Mo – In Jefferson City, several bridges along U.S. Route 50 and U.S. Route 54 are slated for rehabilitation work and one closed bridge is up for removal in 2025. This work will require lane closures, ramp closures, and road closures and the Missouri Department of Transportation is seeking community input on mitigating traffic impacts as much as possible. An in-person public meeting on June 4 will kick off a two-week comment period running through June 18, 2024.
The public is invited to the open-house-style meeting on Tuesday, June 4, at MoDOT’s Central District office, located at 1511 Missouri Boulevard in Jefferson City. Attendees may come and go as they please at any time from 4:30 to 6 p.m., as there will be no formal presentation. Members of the project team will be available to answer questions and provide information. Exhibits will show the work currently being planned and the proposed traffic impacts. The meeting exhibits will also be made available online at the project’s webpage: https://www.modot.org/us-route-50-and-us-route-54-bridge-rehabilitation-cole, where visitors may also sign up for project-specific email updates.
In addition to the public meeting, there will be a two-week open comment period running June 4-18. Input can be submitted online through a form on the project webpage, emailed to CDCR@modot.mo.gov, or mailed to U.S. Route 50 and U.S. Route 54 Bridge Rehabilitations in Jefferson City Project, c/o MoDOT, 1511 Missouri Boulevard, Jefferson City, MO, 65102.
