ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – A resurfacing project on Interstate 29 in Andrew and Buchanan counties has been reset again after having been delayed a few times, due to weather.

Contractors working with the Missouri Department of Transportation will now begin milling and repaving the northbound lanes of I-29 between 1.5 miles south of Route O in Buchanan County and Business Route 71 in Andrew County on Tuesday, Aug. 18. All work is planned to begin no earlier than 6 p.m. each evening, after peak travel times, and should be completed each day by 6 a.m. One lane in each direction will remain open throughout the project, which will continue through November.

The shoulders and 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 closure is planned, advance notice will be provided.

Motorists should be alert and follow all construction signs and message boards. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change. MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely through work zones to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
