Travel Advisory: Route 5 & I-70 Interchange in Boonville is Closed

Motorists planning to travel to the Lake of the Ozarks this weekend on Missouri Route 5 through Boonville are asked to take an alternate route. The Route 5 interchange at Interstate 70 in Boonville is completely closed for pavement replacement and travelers on Route 5 will not be able to access I-70 at the location.

Route 5 is closed between Fuqua Drive and the entrance to the Love's Travel Stop (2501 Ashley Road) and both on and off ramps to and from I-70 are closed. Travelers may take a detour of Route 65 to Route 50 to Route 5. The entire interchange will remain closed until Tuesday, Oct. 6.

Please note that schedules are weather permitting. MoDOT appreciates the patience of travelers during the work.
