<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;">Beginning Wednesday, June 2, 2025, Bernadette Drive will be completely closed to address street and structure flooding. Rhad A. Baker Construction, LLC, a contractor for the City of Columbia Stormwater Utility, will be replacing existing stormwater infrastructure along the street. </p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The work area will be between the Joe Machens dealership and Our Lady of Lourdes Parish.</span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Barricades and signs will be present to direct traffic near the closure. Detour signs will be placed on Worley Street, Beverly Drive, and Clinkscales Road. Detour signs will also be placed on Stadium Boulevard and I-70 Drive Southwest. </span></p>
<br />
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The work is scheduled to be completed by Aug. 13, 2025, weather permitting. </span></p>
