<div class="content"><span style="padding-left: 50px;">(COLUMBIA, MO)</span> - <p style="display:inline;"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Beginning Monday, Aug. 11, the City of Columbia Stormwater Utility will close Vandiver Drive to through traffic between Sylvan Lane and Nelwood Drive. </span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">Access to all drive approaches will remain open. The work is scheduled to be completed by Oct. 31, weather permitting.</span></p>
<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">To prevent flooding, the Stormwater Utility is replacing eight stormwater inlets and existing pipe with 10 new inlets, six stormwater structures and approximately 2,080 feet of new stormwater pipe on Vandiver Drive and Sylvan Lane. The new stormwater system will drain to a regional detention basin. </span></p>
