During demolition, traffic will be rerouted over the ramps at the interchange.

7 p.m. Friday, August 8 -- One lane in each direction on I-44 will be closed at Route MM/B.

8 p.m. Friday, August 8 -- Route MM/B will be CLOSED at I-44.

10 p.m. Friday, August 8, until 6 p.m. Saturday, August 9 -- I-44 traffic routed over the ramps at the Route MM/B interchange.

During the bridge demolition, Route MM/B traffic will NOT have access to I-44. However, I-44 traffic will be able to exit at Route MM/B.

I-44 drivers who want to avoid the possible congestion at Route MM/B can use Route 65 to Route 60 to Route 360 in Springfield to detour around the bridge demolition area.

The Route MM/B bridge over I-44 will be CLOSED from August 8 to November 8. However, the ramps at the interchange will remain open much of the time.

COLUMBIA, Mo. (AP) Crews have begun demolishing buildings at a University of Missouri-run apartment complex where a veteran firefighter died in a walkway collapse.

The Columbia Daily Tribune reports (http://bit.ly/1pGIjC9 ) four of the 11 buildings marked for demolition at University Village have been razed since Wednesday. A university spokeswoman says the contractor is performing asbestos abatement at the other buildings.

The demolition is scheduled to be completed by the end of November.

Columbia Firefighter Bruce Britt was killed Feb. 22 as he tried to rescue residents trapped by a walkway collapse at one of the buildings. Tenants were moved out of the 57-year-old complex earlier this summer.

Three buildings are not being torn down because they recently underwent a complete renovation. Those buildings will be used for storage.
