JACKSON COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will have various traffic shifts along northbound I-470/Route 291 at U.S. 40 and the Little Blue River bridges on Monday, Aug. 27. These shifts in traffic are a part of the bridge rehabilitation work happening in the area. All work is weather permitting.
- Beginning at 6 a.m. on Sunday, Aug. 26 Monday, Aug. 27, motorists should expect various lane shifts along northbound I-470 at U.S. 40 and the Little Blue River until the end of the day. This work was moved to Monday, Aug. 27, due to concrete not reaching the necessary strength on the original date planned.
Use the zipper merge and take turns at the merge points. This is all part of the final phase of an extensive bridge rehabilitation project along I-470 that began in spring 2017. Learn more about the project here. Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
