The Missouri Department of Transportation will close the northbound I-29 bridge over Route 36 starting next week on Monday to performe maintenance on the bridge.  

Work on the bridge will also force the closure of the northbound I-29 ramp to westbound U.S. Route 36 as well as the eastbound U.S. Route 36 ramp to northbound I-29.  The closure will begin on Monday, August 24th at 6am and will be closed until 4:30pm.  Northbound I-29 will be narrowed to one lane from the 45.8 mile marker to the 46.2 mile marker.

 Motorists will need to seek an alternate route during the closure.   MoDOT asks drivers to always buckle up, keep your phone down, and to slow down and move over in work zones.
