This work is part a project to replace Route E and Route H bridges on I-70. The Route E bridges were complete in 2018. The Route H Bridge – currently under construction -- was built in 1960. The Route H Bridge will remain closed through June 2019. More than 30,000 drivers cross through this stretch of I-70 every day so keeping the interstate smooth and safe is paramount.
The Missouri Department of Transportation urges all motorists to always wear safety belts, follow posted speed limits and be alert for slowed traffic, narrowed lanes or a reduced number of lanes during construction and maintenance work. And remember, every work zone is a NO PHONE ZONE.
