State transportation officials say construction on Columbia’s Providence road bridge over I-70 is nearing completion.
Improve I-70 program director Eric Kopinski says they’re a few weeks away from opening it back up:
“Anyone traveling around Providence will see that bridge. We’re starting to get to the point where we’re adding the traffic signals back and doing the final touches through there,” Mr. Kopinski says.
Mr. Kopinski joined 939 the Eagle’s Mike Murphy on the “Eagle Eye Drive at 5.”
MoDOT closed Providence over I-70 to all traffic at the end of May to reconstruct the bridge and ramps. The deck for the new bridge was poured in October.
