Interstate 29 at U.S. Route 159 near Mound City has reopened after contractors set steel girders for the new deck of the Route 159 overpass.

The Missouri Department of Transportation along with Boone Construction Company closed the interstate this week in order to set the girders. Construction at the Exit 79 overpass is expected to be completed by the end of May.

MoDOT says there will be intermittent lane closures on I-29 in both directions as workers replace the deck of the overpass. Drivers are urged to pay attention to construction signs and barricades during the project.
