COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ) A portion of Business Loop 70 in Columbia is scheduled to be closed or two weeks beginning on Wednesday, according to a Monday press release from the Missouri Department of Transportation. Business Loop 70 will be closed between Hathman Place and Eastland Circle from Nov. 12-26, the release says. All businesses along that stretch will still be accessible, the release says. That area will be closed for roundabout construction. “The new roundabout on Business Loop 70 will ultimately provide direct access to and from eastbound I-70. This closure will enable crews to complete the construction of the roundabout, which will open to traffic on Nov. 26. However, with the new eastbound I-70 lanes under construction, the roundabout is not expected to connect to I-70 until late 2027,” the release says.
