(Update:) Delays in materials deliveries prompted crews to put off the start of this project until Tuesday, April, 21.

PLATTE COUNTY – Motorists should prepare for delays as crews work to rehabilitate 12 bridges along the I-29 corridor between I-435 and I-635 beginning April 20 and continuing for 6 months.

Work will cause lane reductions, narrow lanes, and ramp closures. Motorists should use alternate routes such as I-435 and US 169. The following impacts will be underway;

· Two lanes of I-29 will be maintained in each direction between 112th Street and Route 45 (64th Street).

· I-29 will be reduced to one lane at Route D (Cookingham Drive) for each direction for 80 calendar days.

· The ramp from eastbound Route 152 to southbound I-29 will be closed for the duration of the project.

· I-29 lanes will be narrowed at the bridge locations.

· Temporary lane closures may be encountered on Route D (Cookingham Drive), 112th Street, Tiffany Springs Parkway, Barry Road, 72nd Street, and Route 45 (64th Street) during off peak hours.

Motorists who are utilizing Kansas City International Airport (KCI) should make the appropriate adjustments to meet departure and arrival times. All work is weather dependent.
