ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Resurfacing planned for U.S. Route 169 at the Exit 44 interchange, from just west of I-29 to just east of the Leonard Road intersection on the east side of I-29, has been pushed back one day.

Contractors from Herzog Contracting Corporation, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, plan to work at night between 8 p.m. and 6 a.m. to minimize the impact to traffic. They will close the off ramps at the interchange from the interstate to U.S. Route 169. One lane for through traffic on U.S. Route 169 will remain open in each direction throughout the duration of the project, though some turns may not be permitted. Motorists are advised to follow all signs and flaggers, and to use caution in the area.

The project is now slated to begin Tuesday evening, Aug. 1 and should be completed by 6 a.m. on Wednesday, Aug. 2. Schedules are subject to change. MoDOT encourages all motorists to slow down, buckle up, eliminate distractions and drive safely to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
