COLUMBIA — The $9.8 million state project at U.S. 63 and Route H began in August and is on schedule to open in fall 2012.
Crews have also finished the bridge foundation at Turkey Creek and the center pier for the Route H bridge.
When the work is completed, there will be a diamond interchange at the intersection of the two roads.
Rodney Cunningham, left, and Dennis Hedges work on a pier cap on Highway 63 and Route H. The Missouri Department of Transportation has been working on building a diamond interchange at this location to reduce the congestion by making it easier to turn left.
