COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Crews with the Missouri Department of Transportation will close one eastbound lane of Highway 54 at the Missouri River Bridge for four nights, starting on Wednesday.

The closures will allow the placement of a new overhead sign in the median, according to a press release from MoDOT. Work will also continue on completing pavement on Route W (Cedar City Road/Airport Road) at the interchange with Highway 54.

MoDOT said the project includes shoulders, guardrail and the sign installation, as well as a new lane for southbound Highway 63 onto the Missouri River Bridge.

The closures will happen Wednesday, Thursday, Friday and Monday night from 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. the next morning.
