MODOT Lowers Speed Limit on Hwy 63 in Columbia, Missouri

April 11, 2010

According to an article published in the Columbia Daily Tribune, the Missouri Department of Transportation (MODOT) has announced its decision to reduce the current 70 m.p.h. speed limit on Highway 63 inside the Columbia city limits to 65 m.p.h. The speed limit reduction will begin on Columbia's south edge at Route AC/Grindstone Parkway and continue north past the Route B interchange. The site of many serious accidents, MODOT hopes the reduction in speed will make that stretch of highway safer for all travelers.
