KANSAS CITY – Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation will have several lane closures next week as part of the project along the I-435 corridor. Motorists can expect night or daytime closures in both eastbound and westbound lanes EVERY DAY beginning July 16, 2018. Much of this work includes paving, placing construction barrier, striping and shifting traffic to prepare for the next phases of construction. Crews have minimized impacts as much as possible to work over night or during non-peak hours, but still cautions motorists to watch for active work zones. Closures include:
Monday July 16: Crews will slightly shift the eastbound traffic overnight on July 16. Beginning at 9 p.m., they will CLOSE the inside two lanes of eastbound I-435 from Holmes to Grandview to restripe. All lanes will be open by 5 a.m. This will allow work on the bridges over 104th Street and the Blue River.
Daily from Tuesday July 17 to Friday July 20, as well as Monday July 23 and Tuesday July 24: The outside lane of eastbound I-435 will be CLOSED daily from Holmes to the Grandview Road Bridge beginning at 4 a.m. to 1 p.m. The contractor will be placing barrier wall each day.
