LEE’S SUMMIT – The Missouri Department of Transportation will CLOSE north and southbound MO Route 291 at Colbern Road OVERNIGHT beginning at 8 p.m. on Thursday, Aug. 24 until 5 a.m. the following morning. This closure is for bridge work as part of the Colbern Road Bridge project. This work was originally scheduled to begin on Wednesday, Aug. 23, but has been rescheduled due to rain. Motorists should find alternate routes if necessary. All work is weather permitting.
