BETHANY, Mo. – The northbound lanes of I-35 are closed in Harrison County as crews complete a project on the Route AA/H Bridge.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, the bridge over Interstate 35 in Harrison County has been closed since late May for a deck replacement project. The northbound lanes of I-35 are closed so the crew may tie in the new bridge deck to the existing roadway and complete guardrail work under the bridge. Traffic is being routed up and over the ramps at Exit 84 around the work. This traffic pattern will remain in place through Thursday afternoon.

To ensure that interstate traffic flows as smoothly as possible no access to or from Route AA and Route H will be permitted. Motorists will experience delays and may want to consider using an alternate route.

The Route AA/H Bridge is scheduled to reopen to all traffic Friday afternoon.

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 to ensure everyone is able to Arrive Alive.
