The Cole County Public Works Department closed part of a county road Wednesday due to construction for a new box culvert.
The intersection at Collier Lane and Collier Court was closed to all traffic, and Collier Court will have access to Northway Drive via a temporary bypass, public works officials said. The bypass will be in place for several weeks until construction is complete.
This work is part of a larger project that began in June on South Brooks Drive between Shady Lane and Westview Drive. The project will reconstruct three pipe crossings on South Brooks and Collier Lane with either a new pipe or box culvert, plus replace or add several drop inlets and pipe.
This project is part of a multi-phase and multi-year project to upgrade the stormwater systems in the Westview Heights area.
