LEE’S SUMMIT – Missouri Department of Transportation will CLOSE the left turn option on the eastbound Route 50 ramp to northbound Route 291 on Tuesday, Oct. 3, 2017 so crews can continue building sections of the new Route 291 bridge. All work is weather dependent.
This work is part of larger project to reconstruct the Route 291 overpass bridges into a diverging diamond interchange. The intersection of Blue Parkway, the north outer road to US 50 Highway, and Jefferson Street will be reconstructed as a roundabout. Learn more on the project site.
The Missouri Department of Transportation urges all motorists to always wear safety belts, follow posted speed limits and be alert for slowed traffic, narrowed lanes or a reduced number of lanes during construction and maintenance work. And remember, every work zone is a NO PHONE ZONE.
