ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – Next week will bring a ramp closure and lane closures at the intersection of westbound U.S. Route 36 and Interstate 229.

Work on signs at that location was postponed due to weather, but next Monday and Tuesday, local crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation plan to complete the delayed work.

Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Monday, Dec. 11, the ramp from westbound U.S. Route 36 to northbound I-229 and the driving lane on westbound U.S. Route 36 at the same location will be closed. Motorists wishing to travel from westbound U.S. Route 36 to northbound I-229 will need to seek an alternate route. Motorists traveling westbound through the intersection should expect delays.

Between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. on Tuesday, Dec. 12, both the driving and passing lanes of westbound U.S. Route 36 at the Interstate 229 interchange will be closed. Crews will direct motorists through the intersection via the turn lane. Motorists will experience delays and may want to seek an alternate route.
