The southbound Interstate 229 Bridge in St. Joseph will be narrowed to one lane beginning at approximately 7 a.m. on Wednesday, Nov. 19, 2014, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Contractors will close the southbound driving lane of I-229 from just after the St. Joseph Avenue on ramp to just before U.S. Hwy 36. There will be a 10-foot width restriction in place throughout the project. As the project progresses, crews will close the southbound passing lane, the northbound driving lane and the northbound passing lane at different times. Crews are planning to work during daylight hours on weekdays. Currently, no weekend work is planned.

This bridge rehabilitation project will begin now, but work will be suspended when temperature and weather prohibits further work. The contractor will resume work when temperatures permit in the spring. All work schedules are weather permitting.
