ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A resurfacing and bridge improvement project on Interstate 29 in Atchison and Holt counties is scheduled to begin Monday, July 18, 2022. Emery Sapp & Sons, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin with improvements to the Rock Creek Bridge, immediately south of Rock Port (Exit 107).
One lane, each direction, of I-29 will be closed around-the-clock for 6-8 weeks as crews widen the shoulder near the bridge, complete bridge repair work, and resurface the deck of the northbound bridge.
Following the work at the bridge, the contractor will begin pavement repairs on I-29 from Route 111 near Exit 107 to Route W near Corning (Exit 99). Motorists will encounter single-lane closures in various locations along the 8.7 miles included in the project.
Asphalt paving is expected to begin after the Labor Day holiday. During asphalt paving, one lane each direction may be closed in two-mile increments. All work is scheduled to be completed by the end of October.
Crews may be working seven days a week, up to 12 hours per day. Please slow down and use caution in this and all work zones.
All work is weather permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
