LATHROP, Mo. – The ramp closures on Interstate 35 that were delayed due to weather and material issues have been rescheduled. The closures are part of a resurfacing project on -I-35 between the Clinton/Clay County line and just north of Route 116. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Ideker, Inc. to complete the project.
Resurfacing of the driving lanes on I-35 is complete. Ramp resurfacing will occur this weekend with striping of both driving lanes and ramps planned for next week. The weekend ramp closures are planned for Friday, May 8 and Saturday, May 9, during daylight hours. The ramps listed below will be closed while they are being resurfaced, but not all ramps will be closed simultaneously.
- Ramps at Route PP – both northbound and southbound on and off ramps
- Ramps at Route 116 – both northbound and southbound on and off ramps
- Entrance and Exit ramps for both northbound and southbound Lathrop rest areas
One lane of I-35 in each direction is expected to remain open throughout the project. Due to the nature of some of the work, some lane closures may remain up around-the-clock. A 12-foot width restriction will be in place for the duration of the project.
All work is weather-permitting and schedules are subject to change. Motorists are urged to stay alert and pay attention to all roadway signing and barricades and to eliminate distractions. Crews will be working close to traffic. Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
