A mix of numerous work zones and significant public occasions could cause traffic defers this end of the week for drivers on Interstate 70 between Kansas City and Columbia. 

With the Chiefs playing at home in Kansas City on Sunday evening and the state crosscountry titles occurring in Columbia, expanded traffic is normal on the highway all through mid-Missouri, as per Missouri Department of Transportation Central District Engineer Machelle Watkins. 

"To assist with lightening a portion of these postponements, we ask those heading out on I-70 to think about utilizing backup ways to go to these occasions, or get ready additional time for anticipated deferrals," Watkins expressed in a MoDOT news discharge. 

Work is planned this end of the week on the Sorrels Overpass Drive span, situated at the 122-mile marker in Columbia. Extension destruction ought to be finished by 5 a.m. Monday. Terminations will happen all of a sudden and the larger part will affect single paths, per MoDOT. 

Any full eastward or westward terminations will be brief — around 15 minutes — before paths will be opened and traffic is permitted to clear, the delivery expressed. 

In Callaway County, traffic is decreased to one path nonstop at the westward Auxvasse Creek span, east of Kingdom City at mile marker 153. Postponements are normal, particularly in the early evening hours, the delivery expressed. 

There are other more minor work zones along the highway all through Missouri also. The most ideal way of keeping awake to date on development or other traffic issues is MoDOT's Traveler Information Map at traveler.modot.org, Watkins said.
