JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. – Construction crews completed safety improvements to Wehmeyer Drive at Missouri Route 94 in Jefferson City and reopened the road today.
Wehmeyer Drive has been realigned with the entrance to Hitachi Energy and a left-turn lane added to westbound Route 94 to improve traffic safety and mitigate traffic back-ups during peak hours. Crews closed Wehmeyer Drive on Monday, May 20, around-the-clock to complete this work. The road reopened to all traffic today, Friday, May 24.
This work is part of the larger project that includes adding a third continuous lane of travel to eastbound U.S. Route 54 and adding auxiliary lanes on Route 94.
