Kirksville motorists may need to find an alternate route to get to their destination.

Due to ongoing repairs in the area, the eastbound lane of Washington Street closed on Monday.

The closure is near Marion Street, which will remain open as the repairs are completed.

Repairs are being made to street curbs, sidewalks and the pavement for the stretch of road on Marion Street between Jefferson and Illinois streets.

The closure on Washington Street will remain in place until August 18.
