Columbia: Street, sidewalk and parking closures on East Ash Street, April 8

(COLUMBIA, MO) ~ Columbia, MO - On Wednesday, April 8, at 6:30 a.m., Budrovich Crane Rental will be placing a new air conditioning unit on top of the Boone County Courthouse located at 705 E. Walnut St. This process will require the closure of both lanes of East Ash Street between North Seventh and North Eighth streets.

According to the company, the south sidewalk within this block will be fully closed and portions of the north sidewalk will also be impacted within the work area. To ensure the safety of pedestrians, signs will be placed to direct them to alternate routes around the closure.

In addition, there will be changes to bus routes in the area. The Go COMO Black Route, which usually travels on East Ash Street, will detour using Park Avenue and North Seventh Street. However, all bus stops will still be served during this time. The only change is that the Armory Sports Center stop will now be located on the west side of the intersection of North Seventh and Ash streets instead of the east side.

The Go COMO Orange and Gold routes, which have been detoured to East Ash Street due to construction on Park Avenue since March 24, will temporarily return to their normal route on Park Avenue on April 8. This detour was put in place to avoid ongoing construction activity on Park Avenue until August 27.

Metered parking spaces within the closure area will also be affected. "No parking" signs will be posted at least 24 hours in advance to notify drivers that these spaces are unavailable.

Weather permitting, all work is expected to be completed by 4 p.m., and both the street and sidewalk will reopen at that time. The public is advised to plan accordingly for any potential delays or changes in transportation routes during this time.
