COLUMBIA, Mo. (KMIZ)

Winter weather early Saturday morning prompted a closure of Champions Drive at Providence Road shortly after 10 a.m.

The closure impacts one of the road’s two entry points ahead of a home game at Mizzou Arena between the Mizzou Tigers and Oklahoma Sooners. The game tips off at 1 p.m.

Snowfall has started to increase in pace and amount as the morning has gone on, causing more snow coverage on roads. As of 10:20 a.m. the MoDOT travel map reports major roads in mid-Missouri covered or partly covered.
