JACKSON COUNTY – MoDOT will be making pavement repairs that will require the closure of the right turn lane of the southbound U.S. 71 off ramp to 22nd Street beginning at 7:30 p.m. each evening until 5 a.m. the following mornings on both Thursday, Sept. 22, and Friday, Sept. 23. This closure will cut off access to and from 22nd Street and U.S. 71. Motorists will need to seek alternate routes during this time. All work is weather permitting.
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.
