REMINDER: Double-Decker Bridge to close next week

St. Joseph, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation reminds drivers that the Interstate 229 Double-Decker Bridge will be closed next week for routine maintenance and inspection.  For the safety of both motorists and crews, the bridge and all ramps will remain closed between U.S. Route 36 and Highland Avenue from 7 a.m. Monday, April 19 through the afternoon of Friday, April 23.

During the week-long closure, a contractor will be brought in to conduct an under-bridge inspection and local maintenance crews will complete pavement repairs and work on the bridge lighting. Multiple crews will be working at the same time to take advantage of the closure and maximize the amount of work accomplished.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the closure.

Drivers are reminded to slow down and pay attention to all roadway signing and barricades. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive alive.
