PLATTE COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will close the northbound I-29 flyover ramp, the entrance to Kansas City International Airport from 7 p.m. Monday, Aug. 28 through 6 a.m. Tuesday, Aug. 29 for asphalt work. Motorists will need to utilize the off-ramp to Cookingham Dr., and then take a left turn at the signal light to access the airport. Motorists can also utilize Mexico City Ave. as an alternate route.
During this same time period, crews will also be closing one lane (1 lane at a time) of eastbound Route D, exiting the airport. Motorists will still be able to access northbound and southbound I-29 during this work.
Motorists who are utilizing Kansas City International Airport should make the appropriate adjustments to meet departure times. All work is weather dependent.
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.
