Many states have laws against driving in the left lane except for passing or turning left, which are often ignored by drivers, leading to annoying and dangerous bottlenecks that some experts say are as bad as driving too fast because people get trapped behind and become frustrated prompting some to drive more aggressively.

The Missouri Department of Transportation's project to improve the driving surface of Stadium Boulevard in Columbia will impact entrance and exit ramps at Interstate 70 over several evenings this week.

The I-70 eastbound exit ramp and the westbound entrance ramp will be closed today and Tuesday. In addition, two of the three northbound lanes of Stadium Boulevard will be closed today, with one lane of northbound Stadium Boulevard to be closed Tuesday.

The I-70 westbound exit ramp and eastbound entrance ramp will be closed Wednesday and Thursday. In addition, two of the three southbound lanes of Stadium Boulevard will be closed Wednesday, with one lane of southbound Stadium Boulevard to be closed Thursday.

Work will take place between the hours of 7 p.m.-6 a.m. Message boards will detour I-70 motorists around the Stadium Boulevard ramp closures via the West Boulevard interchange.

Work is weather permitting and could be delayed.
