St. Joseph, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation reminds drivers that the bridge on Holt County Route B over Interstate 29 will close tomorrow, April 15, for a bridge deck replacement project. Crews from Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc. will close the route to all traffic tomorrow morning. The roadway is expected to remain closed through July 2021. This project is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
During the closure, motorists will be directed over a signed detour on U.S. Route 59 and Route 120.
Throughout the project, one lane of I-29, near mile marker 72, may be closed in each direction with a 12-foot width restriction. Delays should be expected in this area.
