JACKSON COUNTY – Crews will be closing the left lane on Interstate 70 eastbound and westbound between Grain Valley and Oak Grove (approximately mile markers 25 and 27.2) on Tuesday, April 14, from approximately 7 p.m. until Wednesday, April 15, at approximately 6 a.m. During this time, crews will also conduct rolling stops for the installation of girders at the Lefholz Rd. bridge over I-70. All work is weather permitting.
Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa is the third project in MoDOT’s Statewide Improve I-70 Program and will add a third lane of travel in each direction to I-70 from just west of MO Route 7 in Blue Springs to approximately MO Route H. The project also includes interchange improvements at Route D in Bates City and at MO Route 131 in Odessa. The project was awarded in Spring 2025 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028.
Missouri’s FY2024 budget, approved through the state legislative process and signed into law by the governor, provides $2.8 billion in General Revenue to build a third lane of I-70 across the state. The program will plan, design, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, and add a third lane in each direction on nearly 200 miles of I-70, from Blue Springs to Wentzville.
