COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

The westbound on-ramp to Interstate 70 from Providence Road in Columbia will close July 27 for several months, according to a Tuesday press release from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Construction on the Providence Road bridge started in May and led to the closure of the off-ramp, which will stay closed for the whole construction project.

An end date for the on-ramp closure was not listed in the release.

The two eastbound ramps are still open, but they are expected to close at some point this summer, the release says.

The work is part of the Improve I-70 Project, which aims to make I-70 a three-lane highway across the state.
