The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will demolish two old bridges at the I-70 and US 54 interchange in Kingdom City. The closure runs this Friday and weekend, from 7 p.m. Friday, Oct. 30, until about 5 a.m. Monday, Nov. 2.
MoDOT says the bridges were built in the early 1960s and have reached the end of their service life. They sit in the middle of the new roundabout at the interchange, as part of the $405 million Improve I-70 project between Columbia and Kingdom City.
What drivers need to know this weekend
You will not be able to cross I-70 on US 54, and the roundabout will be closed.
The ramps at Exit 148 will stay open.
I-70 will narrow to one lane in each direction. Drivers will be directed up and over the Exit 148 ramps before returning to the interstate.
All ramps at Route M/Hatton (Exit 144) will stay open during the work. The eastbound ramps are expected to close again afterward.
US 54 detours
Eastbound US 54: take eastbound I-70 to Routes A/Z at Exit 155, then return to westbound I-70.
Westbound US 54: take westbound I-70 to Route M at Exit 144, then return to eastbound I-70.
Please allow extra travel time, follow posted detour signs, and use caution in the work zone. This will affect travel to Friday night’s football game, so plan to leave early.

Missouri is introducing a new system that assigns schools and districts an A–F letter grade. Recently, we learned that the state has moved up its release timeline. Although the Missouri Department of Elementary and Secondary Education (DESE) indicated a November release, the state has released grades to Districts under an embargo. Because the grades were presented to the State Board of Education in a public meeting, they may become public under Missouri’s Sunshine Law earlier than anticipated. I want you to hear this from us first and to have the context you need to understand what you see.
Please see the attached documents for more information and relevant district data.
