If you drive through North Jefferson City, plan another route. Central Mo Info reports that Missouri Department of Transportation crews will close the Route W ramp to westbound U.S. 54 beginning Monday. It's part of the project expanding the highway.

3 weekswith no access to or from Airport Road and westbound U.S. 54

The ramp from westbound U.S. 54 to Airport Road is already closed, so both are shut at once.

  • Detour: eastbound U.S. 54 to the U.S. 63 interchange
  • Why: new pavement for the U.S. 63/U.S. 54 lane onto the bridge
  • Weather: work is weather permitting and schedules can change

KOMU 8 reports that Route W is also known as Airport Road, and that the westbound exit ramp to Cedar City Drive closed in September. A dedicated southbound lane on U.S. 63 onto the Missouri River bridge will open at this time. Heading that way? We suggest leaving a few extra minutes.

One ramp near Airport Road is shut and another closes Monday
