JACKSON COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will CLOSE portions of Interstate 470 OVERNIGHT from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. beginning July 12 through Friday morning July 14 as part of Raytown Road Bridge rehabilitation project. Traffic will be re-directed over the Raytown Road exit ramps then back onto I-470. All work is weather permitting.
The Raytown Road Bridge will remain completely closed during construction through September and local traffic will be diverted onto I-470 to route around the closure.
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.
