LEE’S SUMMIT – The Missouri Department of Transportation will have a left lane closure along eastbound Interstate 470 at James A. Reed Road beginning at 7 a.m. until 7 p.m. on Saturday, April 7. This lane reduction is for bridge repairs and is part of the extensive I-470 bridge rehabilitation project that will repair 15 bridges along the I-470 corridor. Eastbound I-470 will be reduced to ONE LANE during this time. Please be patient and considerate to your fellow motorists. Use the zipper merge and take turns at the merge point. All work is weather permitting.
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.
