ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Interstate 229 Bridge rehabilitation project continues next week with additional lane closures, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Beginning Monday, Dec. 15, contractors will begin work in the northbound lanes of I-229 from just after U.S. Hwy 36 to just before the St. Joseph Avenue on ramp. Due to the nature of the work, one lane of southbound I-229 will also be closed in this section. There will be a 10-foot width restriction in place throughout the project in both directions. Crews are planning to work during daylight hours on weekdays. Currently, no weekend work is planned.

This bridge rehabilitation project, which began in November, 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.
