According to the City of Springfield Facebook page, the road closure is due to the demolition of the Crowell-Collier building, which is ongoing.
The Springfield News-Sun has reached out to the city to see if more road closures are expected in the coming days but has not yet heard back.
The City of Springfield approved a demolition permit for the property on July 18, and demolition began shortly afterwards.
