COLUMBIA − The Missouri Department of Transportation says it has closed the Stadium Boulevard exit to westbound Interstate 70 to alleviate traffic back ups.
The exit will stay closed until Tuesday evening, according to MoDOT.
Large traffic back ups are expected as westbound I-70 is down to one lane near mile marker 122 after an injury crash Monday led to the closure of Sorrels Overpass in both directions. MoDOT officials say the right westbound lane is closed for travelers' safety.

A MoDOT representative said the overpass had shifted almost entirely off its supports. MoDOT has called for the "immediate demolition" of the overpass and is working to find a contractor to take over the demolition.
No timeline of the project has been announced as of Tuesday at noon.
MoDOT says rerouting the interstate will be necessary for the demolition. There will only be one side of the interstate open at a time during the demolition.
This story will be updated as more information is released.
