MOUND CITY, Mo. – The continuing bridge deck work on two bridges in Holt County, just south of Mound City has entered the phase with the most significant impacts for interstate traffic. Both the Davis Creek bridges bridge deck projects and the bridges over the old railroad will cause traffic disruptions for travelers on Interstate 29. The projects have both lanes and one ramp closed.
Contractors from Comanche Construction, Inc. of Olathe, Kansas, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, have entered Phases 2 and 3 of the project as outlined below:
- July 19 – July 28 (Phase 1): shoulder work with one lane closed each direction - COMPLETE
- Aug. 7 – Dec. 15 (Phases 2 and 3): remove and replace the surface of the bridges, fill in under old railroad bridges. The southbound ramp from Route 118 at Mound City onto Interstate 29 is now CLOSED to all traffic. A signed detour is in place to reroute traffic around the ramp closure.
- Phase 2 – passing lane closed both directions.
- Phase 3 – driving lane closed both directions.
All work is weather permitting and schedules are 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.
