PLATTE COUNTY – Due to the potential for inclement weather, The Missouri Department of Transportation has changed the work schedule for the Interstate 29 over 56th St. Bridge replacement project. The following traffic changes were originally set to begin Monday, March 15, but have been moved to Tuesday, March 16.
Crews will close all eastbound and westbound lanes of 56th underneath I-29 between Roanridge Rd. and Prairie View Rd. from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 16 until Wednesday, Nov. 17 for bridge work
Crews will close the I-29 ramp northbound to 56th/Roanridge Rd. from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 16 until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 for bridge work
Crews will reduce northbound and southbound I-29 at the 56th Bridge to two lanes from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 16 until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 for bridge work
Crews will close the NW Gateway (Route A) Ramp to I-29 northbound from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 16 until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 for bridge work
Crews will close the I-635 northbound ramp to I-29 northbound from 8:00 p.m. Tuesday, March 16 until 6:00 a.m. Wednesday, Nov. 17 for bridge work
Motorists are encouraged to look for posted detour routes while this project is underway. There are multiple interstate detours available. For southbound I-29 traffic, motorists can take eastbound 152, to southbound 169, and back to I-29.
The overall goal of this project is to provide a new and safer bridge. This bridge is included in Gov. Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
