JACKSON COUNTY – Crews will CLOSE one lane of I-70 eastbound from HWY 40 to Crysler St. beginning at approximately 4 a.m. until 2 p.m. on Friday, Aug. 11. This lane closure is for concrete paving work. This will not be a complete closure but motorists may experience delays in the area.
This work is part of the project to replace the Blue Ridge Blvd. bridge over Interstate 70, as well as making interchange improvements to the ramps and approaches. Throughout construction, there will be intermittent lane closures along eastbound I-70. These lane closures are for traffic shifting, pavement marking, and barrier work. There will be three lanes of traffic along eastbound I-70 through construction with the exception of the intermittent lane closures. Motorists should anticipate various lane closures, ramp closures, and bridge work through approximately the end of 2023.
This bridge is included in Governor Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges Program which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
