JACKSON COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will have multiple one lane closures along Interstate 470 between Blue Ridge Boulevard up to the I-70 interchange beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, August 7, through the end August. This work was originally scheduled to begin Monday, July 17, but has been rescheduled. These single lane closures are for shoulder reconstruction ahead of the I-470 bridge rehabilitation work scheduled to begin in mid-August.
The single lane closures will be 24/7 for a few days at each work location. These lane closures will reduce the number of lanes along I-470 and delays at the various work locations WILL be encountered. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and select alternate routes if necessary. All work is weather permitting.
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.
