NOW OPEN: Northbound I-229 Bridge at 6th and Atchison streets

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The northbound bridge on Interstate 229 at Sixth and Atchison streets in St. Joseph is now open. Comanche Construction, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, opened the rehabilitated bridge yesterday, Wednesday, Dec. 13.

As weather allows, crews will continue painting work under the bridge at Sixth and Atchison streets until completed in the spring of 2024. During active painting, Sixth and Atchison streets may be narrowed to one lane or closed.

All work is weather dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
