Project Progress
MoDOT's Planning and Design team has developed a plan to remove and replace the existing concrete overlay on I-35, construct inside and outside shoulders, and update guardrail. This project also includes resurfacing Route 69 and widening the lanes between the intersection of I-35 and Route 116.
MoDOT offered three opportunities to receive community feedback regarding the resurfacing project.
- An in-person public meeting will be held on Wednesday, Sept. 18, 2024, from 4-6 p.m. at the Cameron School District's district office located at 423 N. Chestnut, Cameron, MO 64429. This will be an open house style meeting and community members are welcome to drop by anytime between 4-6 p.m. to speak with project experts and provide feedback. No formal presentation will be made.

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission awarded the construction contract to Michels Road & Stone at its November 2024 meeting.
Tentatively, the work will be completed as follows.
- 2025
- Route 69 – The lanes will be widened to 12 foot and a 2-foot shoulder will be added. The roadway also will be resurfaced, and guardrail updated to current standards. The roadway will be narrowed to one lane during resurfacing.
- I-35 – Northbound I-35 will be closed, and all interstate traffic will be shifted to the southbound lanes between Shoal Creek and Route 116. The existing concrete overlay will be removed from the northbound lanes and replaced. Before winter, interstate traffic will be restored to two lanes both north and southbound lanes.
- 2026
- I-35 – Southbound I-35 will be closed, and all interstate traffic will be shifted to the northbound lanes between Shoal Creek and Route 116. The existing concrete overlay will be removed from the southbound lanes and replaced. Once the southbound construction is complete, traffic will be restored to north and southbound lanes.
