CLAY COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will soon resume work on the Route 210 and I-435 Interchange Improvement Project in Clay County.
The biggest impact to date will be the permanent closure of the flyover ramp from northbound I-435 to westbound Route 210 (Exit 55). Crews will close the ramp at 9 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 28. The closure is in preparation for demolition of the flyover ramp set to happen the weekend of March 2. Motorists wishing to travel westbound will need to exit at Route 210 and I-435 and then turn left at the traffic signal.
Leading up to the closure of the flyover ramp will be the following:
Crews will close the right lane of eastbound Route 210 at I-435 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 for pavement marking work
Crews will close the left turn lane from eastbound Route 210 to northbound I-435 beginning at 7 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 until fall of 2018 for reconstruction work
Crews will close the left lane of westbound Route 210 at Great Midwest Dr. to I-435 from 9 a.m. to 5 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 for pavement marking work
Crews will close northbound Randolph Rd. at Route 210 from 9 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 27 until approximately one month for reconstruction work
This is all part of a project to build a new diverging diamond interchange for I-435 and Route 210, which includes replacing the old twin bridges over I-435 and Route 210 and widening I-435.
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.
