ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation said travelers along Interstate 29 in Andrew and Buchanan counties will soon have a smoother ride after a resurfacing project continues later this month.
Some preliminary patching and guardrail work has already occurred, but beginning Monday, July 27, contractors working with MoDOT will begin milling and repaving I-29 between Business Route 71 in Andrew County and 1.5 miles south of Route O, south of St. Joseph. All work will be conducted at night, after peak travel times. One lane in each direction will remain open.
The on and off ramps will also be resurfaced throughout this section of interstate. Every effort will be made to keep all ramps open during the work, but some closures may be required to ensure the safety of both motorists and workers. If a ramp will close, advance notice will be provided.
