A bridge maintenance project along northbound I-29 over US Route 36, that was scheduled to close portions of I-29 on Monday, will now happen tomorrow instead.

The Missouri Department of Transportation announced that due to equipment work on the northbound I-29 bridge over US Route 36 has been postponed until Tuesday, August 25th.  Work will include closures of the northbound I-29 ramp to westbound U.S. Route 36 and the eastbound U.S. Route 36 ramp to northbound I-29.  The closure will begin around 6am and go until 4:30pm.

During the closure, northbound I-29 will be narrowed to one lane from the 45.8 mile marker to the 46.2 mile marker.  The northbound off ramp from I-29 to westbound U.S. Route 36 and the on ramp from eastbound U.S. Route 36 to northbound I-29 will be closed. Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the closure.
