ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The rehabilitation project on the north and southbound Interstate 229 bridges at Sixth and Atchison streets in St. Joseph will move to its next phase at the end of this month. On Thursday, Oct. 5, crews from Comanche Construction, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will open the southbound bridge and close the northbound bridge to all traffic.
During the final phase of the project, crews will make joint repairs to the northbound bridge. The southbound bridge was originally scheduled to be opened in mid-August, but additional work was added to the project, delaying the reopening.
The project is anticipated to be complete, and the northbound bridge reopened in December 2023. Motorists will need to seek an alternative route during the closure.
