Motorists will cross the bridge using three 11-foot lanes; a concrete barrier is installed across the bridge to separate lanes of traffic from the construction crews and equipment; the shoulder of the bridge, which also currently serves as a pedestrian path, is closed. Pedestrians should also note that no shoulder is available on the U.S. 54 westbound/U.S. 63 southbound bridge leading into Jefferson City; and the speed limit is reduced from 60 mph to 45 mph through the area.
