CLAY COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation ask motorists to prepare for extensive delays at northbound I-435 and Route 210 due to issues with striping work in the designated work zone. The current traffic configuration is one lane northbound and is expected to remain that way at least through evening rush Thursday, May 16. MoDOT ask that motorists find an alternate route, such as Route 291 or Interstate 35.
This is all part of a project to build a new diverging diamond interchange for I-435 and Route 210, which includes replacing the old twin bridges over I-435 and Route 210 and widening I-435. All work is weather dependent.
Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
