Traffic on Interstate 29 in St Joseph will be rerouted through exit ramps for a few hours this weekend.

MoDOT will close a small portion of the interstate at the north intersection with US Highway 169  and reroute traffic around the on and off ramps.

Kansas City Power and Light has scheduled utility work at that location. All traffic signals in the area will be in “flash mode” and flagmen will help direct traffic.

MoDOT plans to reroute traffic early Sunday morning between 1:00am and 4:00am.
