Night work begins Sunday on I-29

under-construction-150271_1280ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Weather permitting, a resurfacing project on Interstate 29 in Andrew and Buchanan counties is set to restart Sunday evening, May 15, 2016.

Crews from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will begin work to resurface the southbound lanes. All work is planned for Sunday through Thursday nights between 6 p.m. and 6 a.m., after peak travel times. Work may also be conducted on Saturday nights, if needed.

The project will resurface I-29 from Business U.S. Route 71 north of St. Joseph to 1.5 miles south of Route O, near Pigeon Creek. One lane will remain open throughout the project.

The on and off ramps will also be resurfaced, which may require closing the ramps to ensure the safety of both motorists and workers. If a ramp closure is planned, advance notice will be provided.

The contractor anticipates that all paving will be completed by July 4, 2016. Then crews will work on striping and guardrail, hoping to be fully completed by mid-August. If delays arise, notice will be given.

All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change. Motorists should be alert and follow all construction signs and message boards. 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.
