ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – 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, resurfaced the northbound lanes during last year’s construction season. On May 15, they will begin work to resurface the southbound lanes.

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.

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. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.

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.
