JACKSON COUNTY – MoDOT Kansas City has rescheduled it plans regarding the installation new KC Scout cameras throughout the KC metro. The work will require various lane closures and a rolling slow down along eastbound I-435 at approximately 103rd St. on Saturday, May 15, beginning at 5 a.m. until approximately noon. Work will begin with various lane closures and at times, eastbound I-435 will be reduced to one lane. There will be a short term FULL CLOSURE of eastbound I-435 for sign truss work. Motorists will be stopped during this time via a rolling slowdown in the area. Traffic backups could be significant. Motorists are advised to plan ahead, leave early, or consider an alternate route if necessary. All work is weather permitting.
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.
