ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Local crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to close the ramp from westbound U.S. Route 36 to northbound Interstate 229 next week. The ramp will close from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m. on Monday, Nov. 20, for the installation of signs. Motorists will need to use an alternate route during the closure.
Then on Tuesday, Nov. 21, from 9 a.m. to 3:30 p.m., crews will narrow westbound U.S. Route 36 at the I-229 interchange. Both the driving and passing lanes of westbound U.S. Route 36 will be closed for sign work. The left-turn lane at this intersection will be used to get all westbound traffic through the intersection. Motorists should expect delays and may want to plan an alternate route.
All work is weather permitting and subject to change. MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
