PLATTE COUNTY – Due to the potential for inclement weather, the Missouri Department of Transportation has changed the work schedule for replacing the I-29 and Waukomis Dr. Bridge in Platte County. All work is weather dependent.
Crews will close various lanes of northbound and southbound I-29 between North Oak Trafficway and 56th from Wednesday, March 23 until Thursday, December 1 for bridge work.
