ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Interstate 29 in southern Buchanan County is set to be resurfaced soon. The Missouri Department of Transportation contracted with Herzog Contracting Corp. to complete the project between Route O and the Platte County line. The work will be conducted at night to lessen impacts to travelers.
The contractor plans to begin off-road work with guardrail and slope repairs on Monday, May 26. I-29 could be narrowed to one lane in each direction to allow for crews to work safely on these two off-road portions of the project. Other phases of the work are planned as follows:
- July 20 – 31: Concrete patching (which could include around-the-clock single lane closures)
- Sept. 25 – 30: Asphalt patching
- Oct. 1 – 15: Asphalt paving and seal coat
- Oct. 16 – 19: Striping
One lane in each direction is expected to remain open throughout the project. 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.
