Final repairs to West Blvd scheduled for July 15 and 16

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

The roadbed repairs to West Blvd between Broadway and Rollins have been completed and the roadway is ready for final milling and overlay. APAC of Missouri, the contractor on the project, plans to complete final milling on Monday, July 15 and place the new driving surface (overlay) down on Tuesday, July 16. All work is weather dependent.

West Blvd was milled and numerous roadbed issues were repaired over the past 30-40 days.  Correcting the roadbed issues will allow for the new driving surface to last for many years. Had roadbed repairs not been effected, the driving surface would have deteriorated much more rapidly.

We appreciate the patience of those who endured the rougher than normal driving conditions while we worked to improve Columbia's roadways.
