JACKSON COUNTY – Crews will be making urgent bridge expansion joint replacements that will require westbound Interstate 435 to be reduced to three lanes between Three Trails Crossing and 103rd Street beginning at 9 a.m. on Monday, Dec. 5, until Thursday, Dec. 22. This closure will be in place 24/7 during this time period and is anticipated to cause significant delays. Additionally, these repairs will require the following ramp closures:
- NEW: One lane on the ramp from southbound I-435 to westbound I-435 will be closed. One lane will remain open.
- NEW: One lane on the ramp from westbound I-470 to westbound I-435 will be closed. Two lanes will remain open.
- The ramp from southbound U.S. 71 to westbound I-435.
- The ramp from Bannister Road to westbound I-435.
This work is expected to cause significant traffic impacts to westbound I-470, northbound I-49, southbound I-435, and southbound U.S. 71. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead, leave early, or seek alternate routes if possible. All work is weather permitting.
