Columbia, MO – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is warning travelers to plan ahead this weekend as I-70 construction and lane closures could cause major delays for fans heading to Columbia for the Mizzou vs. Mississippi State football game on Saturday, November 15.
According to MoDOT, intermittent lane closures are scheduled for both directions of I-70 starting at 7 p.m. Saturday and continuing through 7 a.m. Sunday, November 16. The impacted zones stretch between Blue Springs and Odessa as well as Columbia to Kingdom City, potentially affecting thousands of drivers traveling to and from the game.
Officials are urging motorists to “allow for extra time” and avoid last-minute departures. Traffic volumes are expected to peak before kickoff and after the game ends, creating backups around Columbia and along the I-70 corridor.
