Speed bumps planned on Sexton Road Aug. 7-9

(COLUMBIA, MO) -

Columbia’s Public Works Street Division plans to install speed bumps on Sexton Road between Business Loop 70 and Providence Road, pending a public hearing and City Council approval. City crews would install the speed bumps Aug. 7-9, weather permitting.

The speed bumps are designed to slow traffic on Sexton Road as part of the City’s Neighborhood Traffic Management program.

Minor delays are expected. Motorists, nonmotorized transportation users and pedestrians should exercise caution when traveling through the area. Flaggers will be present to assist motorists through the area while crews are working.

The project’s estimated $75,000 investment would be paid for through annual traffic calming funds. More information about the proposed project is available at CoMo.gov/PublicWorks/Sexton-calming.
