UPDATE: Weather Delay Extends Inspection Schedule of I-70 Bridge

ROCHEPORT, Mo – Contractors for the Missouri Department of Transportation have completed inspections to the westbound lanes on the Interstate 70 bridge near Rocheport.

Rain and storms on Friday, March 29 forced the cancellation of inspections to the eastbound lanes of the bridge, therefore an additional day of work has been added to the schedule. One eastbound lane will now be closed from 9 a.m. – 5 p.m. through Thursday, April 4 as crews work to complete inspections to the bridge.

This inspection is in preparation for rehabilitation work on the bridge scheduled for 2020.

The work schedule is weather permitting and is subject to change. Any changes in the schedule will be communicated in press releases, on MoDOT.org and on MoDOT’s social media channels.
