Drivers can expect temporary traffic impacts in early January when traveling on Interstate 70 and Missouri Route 19, near New Florence, as construction continues on the bridge replacement and interchange improvement project.

The Missouri Department of Transportation and its contractor, Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., have scheduled the following lane reductions:

The week of January 3: I-70 will be reduced to one lane in each direction between mile markers 174 and 176 from 8 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. for barrier wall installation. All ramps at Route 19 will remain open. This work is anticipated to be completed within one week.

The week of January 9: Route 19 will be reduced to one lane just south of Interstate 70/Tree Farm Road near New Florence between 8 p.m. and 5:30 a.m. for temporary pavement widening. All ramps at Route 19 and access to the south outer road/Tree Farm Road will remain open. Flaggers will direct motorists through the work zone. This work is anticipated to be completed within one week.

“For the safety of the crews and the traveling public, we would like to remind drivers to be attentive in work zones and put down your cell phones to eliminate distractions,” said MoDOT Area Engineer Jeff Niemeyer.
