St. Joseph, Mo. – The Double-Decker Bridge on Interstate 229, along the west side of St. Joseph, is due for its biannual bridge inspection. For the safety of drivers and crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation, the bridge and all ramps between U.S. Route 36 and Highland Avenue will close at 6:30 a.m. Monday, Sept. 9, and are scheduled to reopen by 9 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 13.
During the week-long closure, MoDOT engineers will inspect the bridge, maintenance crews will complete general bridge and sign maintenance and electricians will make lighting repairs.
All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change. Motorists encouraged to utilize U.S. Route 36 and I-29 during the closure.
