JACKSON COUNTY – MoDOT Kansas City has rescheduled it plans to CLOSE Manning Ave. and 23rd St. just south of MO Route 78. Work will now be beginning at 7 a.m. until 5 p.m. on Saturday, May 1. This closure is for paving work in the area. Motorists must find alternate routes during this time. All work is weather permitting.
This work is all part of the Blue Ridge Blvd. bridge replacement project over MO Route 78. This bridge is included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
Please be patient and considerate to your fellow motorists. Use the zipper merge and take turns at merge points. Please remember that all work zones are NO PHONE ZONES. Buckle up. Phone down. Arrive Alive. For potential impacts to traffic, please review KC Scout cameras at http://www.kcscout.net or consult our real-time traffic partner, WAZE.
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.
