KANSAS CITY -- The Missouri Department of Transportation will change the traffic configuration on I-435 from the Three Trails Crossing to State Line Road on Wednesday. On Thursday morning, in time for rush hour, the I-435 project will move into a new phase for westbound traffic. The new configuration overall will be two lanes on the inside and two lanes on the outside with the ongoing work occurring in the center. Traffic from I-470 westbound and I-49 northbound will have access to the 103rd Street, Holmes and Wornall exits through the two outside lanes only, so merge into the outside lanes immediately after the I-470 ramp bridge comes to an end.

In addition, crews will CLOSE Holmes Road at I-435 and Holmes Road Bridge for bridge demolition beginning at 7:30 p.m. Friday night, Dec. 7 and will reopen on Sunday, Dec. 9. Holmes Road ramps will remain open. All work is weather dependent.
