Southbound Interstate 35 ramp closures planned for this weekend at Route BB

Interstate through traffic will also be narrowed to one lane

CAMERON, Mo. – As part of a resurfacing project on Interstate 35, crews from Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, are paving the southbound lanes of I-35 in the Cameron area.

In order to safely and successfully mill and repave the southbound entrance and exit ramps at Route BB (Exit 52), crews must close them to all traffic. The ramps will close on Saturday, July 18, between 7 a.m. and 5 p.m., as crews resurfacing the southbound lanes of I-35 reach Exit 52. Due to the nature of the work, progress along the lanes for through traffic cannot be scheduled, so the exact time the ramps will close Saturday is unknown. Once closed, the ramps will remain closed for approximately 2-3 hours. During the closure, motorists must use another route to access Route BB from I-35 or to access I-35 from Route BB.

Through traffic on I-35 will continue to be affected by the asphalt paving. Traffic on southbound I-35 is narrowed to one lane between Shoal Creek and the DeKalb County line. A 12-foot width restriction is in place.

Drivers are urged to stay alert and pay attention to all roadway signing and barricades.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Please remember that all roads are NO PHONE zones. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive.
