"About 2,100 feet of new sidewalk will be constructed parallel to eastbound U.S. 54 leading up to and across the bridge," said MoDOT Transportation Project Manager Bruce Green. "The sidewalks will connect to existing city sidewalks on the west side of the interchange and extend to a location near a shopping area to the east."
This work is being completed in coordination with the City of Camdenton. Enhancement funds, which are set aside for the improvement of pedestrian facilities, are being utilized for this portion of construction.
"The addition of sidewalks to this area will provide the public with additional travel options," said Green.
The low bid for work to the interchange area is $500,535.21. That amount also includes widening the northbound Route 5 off ramp to eastbound U.S. 54 in Camdenton to allow for dual right-turn lanes.
"The addition of a second right-turn lane will decrease the minor backups occurring on the exit ramp as people travel to the Lake of the Ozarks area," said Green. "It also provides tractor-trailer trucks with more room to make right turns at the top of the ramp."
Improvements to the interchange will begin in early March and are scheduled to be finished before the Memorial Day weekend in May. Motorists should expect lane closures and the narrowing of lanes through the interchange area during construction. Minor delays are possible.

The world’s most famous painting—and at an estimated $700 million plus—most valuable painting, “La Giaconda”, better known as Leonardo da Vinci’s “Mona Lisa”, has a twin.
The Prado (http://www.museodelprado.es/en) has had the clone stored away, except for occasional exhibitions. Until recently, however, it had a dark, opaque background. Cleaning and restoring the painting removed this add-on obscurity and the glorious artwork from Leonardo’s apprentice emerged.
Believed to have been painted by Leonardo’s apprentice and lover Francesco Melzi, the work may have been created at the same time as the masterpiece, with the student standing next to the master, matching stroke for stroke. X-Ray and infrared examinations of the artwork in fact show the same sketches and under-painting as the original, and the same changes that Leonardo made.
The Mona Lisa is widely believed to be a portrait of Lisa Gherardini, wife of the affluent Florence fabric merchant Francesco del Giocondo. Prado officials believe that the work looks “very, very close” to how the Mona Lisa did when it was completed by the man from Vinci in 1505.
The Prado will hang the painting in exhibition until it is scheduled to go to Paris in March, where it will be displayed beside Leonardo’s, at the Louvre. Since the Mona Lisa hangs in a glass temperature and humidity controlled case, it is unlikely that she will receive the cleaning and restoration the Prado’s version did. The newly discovered work gives art lovers everywhere a new perspective on Mona—to see her as she was more than 500 years ago. Time, damage and layers of varnish have obscured da Vinci’s.
