(COLUMBIA, MO) -

Contractors for the City of Columbia will remove the pavement to install new storm sewer at the intersection of Santiago Drive and West Nifong Boulevard beginning Wednesday, March 3 as part of the Nifong Boulevard Corridor improvement project. This will result in the partial closure of the intersection of Santiago Drive and West Nifong Boulevard. Through traffic on West Nifong Boulevard will still be accessible, although motorists will not be able to access Santiago Drive from West Nifong Boulevard and will need to use alternate routes. Work is scheduled to last three weeks, weather permitting.

The Nifong Boulevard Corridor; Forum Boulevard improvement project will add two additional through lanes, bike lanes, sidewalks and intersection improvements along Nifong Boulevard between South Providence Road and Willowcreek Lane, and along Forum Boulevard between West Nifong Boulevard and West Green Meadows Road. Two new streets-Aurora Drive and Nova Way-will be constructed by a private developer. The project also includes a new traffic signal at the new intersection of Nifong and Aurora Drive.
