Turning restrictions on South Ten Mile Drive in Jefferson City next week

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Traffic on South Ten Mile Drive in Jefferson City will temporarily shift onto gravel roads with limited access to Missouri Boulevard next week. Construction crews working with the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to replace the culvert where the two roads meet.  

Around the clock, July 21-24, traffic on South Ten Mile Drive will shift onto temporary gravel roads on either side of the existing intersection with Missouri Boulevard. During this traffic shift the following restrictions will be in place: 

• Drivers on South Ten Mile Drive will only be able to make a right turn onto eastbound Missouri Boulevard. There will be no access to westbound Missouri Boulevard. 
• The right lane of eastbound Missouri Boulevard will be closed west of South Ten Mile Drive. 
  • The left lane will remain open. 

This work is part of a project to reduce congestion, alleviate back-ups, and increase safety for the approximately 20,000 vehicles that travel this section of Missouri Boulevard each day. The project is expected to wrap up in early November. For more information about the improvements being made, please visit Missouri Boulevard Intersection Improvements in Cole County | Missouri Department of Transportation.
