Tenth and Cherry city garage undergoing repairs

The city of Columbia announces that work will begin on the Tenth and Cherry Street garage on Monday, June 14. Repairs will be performed on various areas of the garage over the summer and continue until at least Oct. 31.

There will be times when entrances and exits may be blocked and patrons will be required to use the other entrances and exits. At no time will all entrances or exits be blocked unless something unforeseen occurs.

Permit holders and hourly users are urged to exercise extreme caution when driving into and out of the garage, watch for workers or equipment and pay close attention to the signs/barricades indicating where work is being performed. Users should not enter areas that are indicated as closed or leave vehicles in areas near construction since this may result in the vehicle being removed at the owner’s expense.

The contract for this repair work was awarded to MTS Contracting Inc. Repairs being done include work on the support columns, precast T-beams and non-weight-bearing walls. Specific questions about parking in this garage should be directed to Public Works at (573) 874-7250.
