TRAFFIC ALERT: Route 90 bridge construction to cause detour in McDonald County
MCDONALD CO., Mo. — One McDonald County road is closing as part of a bridge construction project. Starting Monday, Slinkard Road just off of Missouri Route 90, east of Jane will close to traffic so contractor crews can install pipe and base rock. MoDOT expects the road to be closed from Monday June 2 to Wednesday June 4. While work is being done, drivers will be directed along a signed detour of McDonald County Route K, Business 71, County Route H and I-49. Signs and message boards will also alert drivers approaching the work zone. The work is part of a 2.3 million dollar project to replace the current one-lane bridge over Little Sugar Creek on Route 90, with a new two-lane bridge, guardrails, barrier walls and permanent striping. The project is estimated to be complete early December this year. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Mass Pike construction underway as lane closures cause major disruptions for drivers
Construction on the Mass Pike near the Newton-Weston town line in Massachusetts is now underway, backing up traffic as the highway is down to one lane in both directions. Saturday morning, as expected, traffic conditions were already shown as slow on the Mass 511 map. MassDOT has closed a 2-mile stretch of the Pike from Weston to Newton, leaving only one lane open in each direction. It's all part of a massive bridge replacement project by the I-95 interchange. The lane closures this weekend start at Friday, May 30 at 9 p.m. and last through Monday, June 2 at 5 a.m. Residual delays could extend into the Monday morning commute, transportation officials said. The bridge construction impacts the Commuter Rail as well, shutting down part of the Worcester Line. Shuttle buses will replace trains between Framingham and South Station.

Mass Pike construction this weekend will cause "intense pain" unless traffic levels drop, highway admin says
Transportation officials in Massachusetts are once again urging drivers to avoid the Mass Pike near Boston this weekend. A bridge replacement project in the Newton and Weston area could cause delays of up to three hours, the highway administrator said earlier this month. Only one lane will be open in each direction of the highway in each direction from Friday night through Monday morning while crews replace the I-90 bridge over the MBTA railroad. Highway administrator Jonathan Gulliver said massive construction projects like this can cause "intense pain" on the roadways. "Make sure that you know what you're getting into," Gulliver told anyone who will be traveling through the area this weekend. "Above all else, leave yourself a lot of extra time." Major traffic delays possible on Mass Pike this weekend More than 100,000 cars typically travel on a weekend day between exits 123 and 125, where the construction is taking place. Modeling shows that hours-long delays are possible if there are normal levels of traffic this weekend, Gulliver said. But he added that delays will be "manageable" if MassDOT reaches its goal of diverting 50% of usual traffic away from the construction zone. Highway signs are already alerting drivers to the big disruption. "We're looking for you to just stay away from the area," Gulliver said. When is the Mass Pike construction happening? The lane closures are happening between Friday, May 30 at 9 p.m. until Monday, June 2 at 5 a.m. A second weekend of construction is planned to start on Friday, June 20 at 9 p.m. and last through Monday, June 23 at 5 a.m. Residual delays are possible for the Monday morning commute after construction work is finished. The MBTA Worcester Commuter Rail line will have to be shut down near Boston during construction on those weekends. Trains will only run between Framingham and Worcester, but alternative busing will be provided. "It's going to be stressful for everybody," Massachusetts State Police Col. Geoffrey Noble said. "Relax and be patient and give yourself plenty of time."

Columbia Road overpass closure begins May 19
May 17—GRAND FORKS — The Columbia Road overpass will be closed to all traffic beginning May 19 until October, with additional lane closures expected later this summer at 11th Avenue South. The structure needs to be closed to allow the city to replace the bearings that support the bridge deck , according to information provided by the city. During the rehabilitation, the entire deck will be lifted so crews can access the bearings and replace them. The structure is around 30 years old and this is the first time that they've been replaced. For most of the summer, Columbia Road will be closed from the DeMers Avenue ramps to Second Avenue North. Beginning in September, additional lane closures will come as the city connects a new stormwater sewer under the road. That connection is part of the Vail Circle storm sewer improvement project. Work to improve the area's stormwater capacity began in 2018 when a forcemain was relocated as part of the new Altru Hospital. The project has received $7.7 million in federal funding for the building of a new pump station and expansion of existing pump stations along 11th Avenue South. The city is also building a parallel sewer to expand capacity. Work has already begun along 11th Avenue South with lane closures expected throughout the summer. For most of the summer, traffic will still continue on Columbia Road until the final connection is made. When that connection is made will be reduced to one lane in each direction according to WFW Engineers, the company working on the project. The bridge rehabilitation project in total costs $12 million, $4.9 million of which the city is paying, according to the city. The project began last year when the bridge was repainted. The Vail Circle project will cost $11.2 million total.
