JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. - A project to upgrade pavement markings on several routes in Columbia is scheduled to get underway this week. Nightly lane closures are scheduled to begin Wednesday night along Route B (Paris Road) between Whitegate Drive and Waco Road. The lane closures are scheduled to begin at 7 p.m. and all lanes are expected to be open by 6 a.m. each morning. Work along Paris Road is expected to continue into mid-April.

At their January 2026 meeting, the Missouri Department of Transportation awarded a $490,881.74 contract to Road Runner Safety Services, Inc. to upgrade crosswalk markings on the following routes:

• Paris Road from Missouri Route 763 (Rangeline Street/College Avenue) to Waco Road.
• Business Loop 70 from west of Interstate 70 to Rangeline/College Avenue.
• Route AC (Grindstone Parkway) from Missouri Route 163 (Providence Road) to U.S. Route 63.
• Rangeline/College Avenue from Brown School Road to Missouri Route 740 (Stadium Boulevard).
• Providence Road from I-70 to Route K.
• Stadium Boulevard from north of I-70 to east of U.S. Route 63.

The order of work is yet to be determined. By contract, the project is scheduled for completion by Oct. 15, 2026. All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
