ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Work to roadway lighting will cause ramp and lane closures next week along the Interstate 229 corridor through St. Joseph. Workers from the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to work on overhead lighting on Tuesday, March 27. Drivers may experience lane closures on both directions of I-229 between 6th Street/Atchison and U.S. Route 59 (St. Joseph Avenue) and the ramp from I-229 northbound to U.S. Route 59 northbound (Exit 6B).
As part of the lighting work, four ramps will be closed throughout the morning. All closure start times are approximate. The closures could last up to 30 minutes at each location.
