A resurfacing project on southbound Interstate 29 continues this week in Andrew County, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Due to weather, some work will be completed this week, instead of Saturday, Nov. 1, 2014, as previously planned.
On Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014, contractors will complete the paving of the southbound I-29 ramps at Business 71 (Exit 53). These ramps will not be closed, as the contractors plan to pave one half of the ramp at a time. Motorists may experience delays and should exercise caution through the work zone.
On Wednesday, Nov. 5 and Thursday, Nov. 6, crews will pave the southbound ramps at the I-229 and I-29 interchange on the north end of St. Joseph (Exit 56) and finish paving the acceleration and deceleration lanes for all other interchanges. These ramps and lanes will also remain open with the contractor paving half the ramp at a time to allow for traffic flow.
Pavement Repairs Planned on Northbound Interstate 29
Interstate 29 will be narrowed starting Tuesday as crews begin pavement repairs. Beginning Tuesday, Nov. 4, 2014, contractors will be working from mile marker 67 near the south Oregon exit to the Iowa state line. The work will start at mile marker 67 in the northbound lanes and continue north to the state line. Crews will then move to the southbound lanes and work south from the state line to mile marker 67. The driving lane will be narrowed during the work, which should take approximately three days to complete, weather permitting.
I-29 will also be narrowed Thursday, Nov. 6, 2014, for additional pavement repairs in the northbound driving lane from Business 71 at the north end of St. Joseph (Exit 53) to the south Oregon exit (Exit 67). The driving lane will be closed during the project, which should take one day to complete, weather permitting.
