FAUCETT, Mo. – Due to a miscommunication, the date provided last week for the closure of the ramps at Exit 35 on Interstate 29 (Route DD at Faucett) was incorrect.

According to a news release, a contractor has tentatively scheduled ramp paving now for Monday, Nov. 13, 2017. The current plan would close one ramp at a time for paving. The southbound off ramp would be closed first at approximately 7:30 a.m., followed in order by the southbound on ramp, northbound off ramp and finally the northbound on ramp.

The Route DD Bridge itself, however, could open as early as next Friday, Nov. 10.
