Show-Me State Times

Crews from the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) are set to close the ramp and bridge connecting I-229 southbound to I-29 northbound, located south of St. Joseph, on Wednesday, February 5. The closure is scheduled to take place from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., allowing for bridge approach repairs.

During this period, motorists will need to find alternate routes as the usual path will be inaccessible. MoDOT has noted that all work is contingent upon weather conditions and that schedules may change accordingly.

MoDOT advises drivers to ensure safety by buckling up, avoiding phone use while driving, reducing speed, and moving over in work zones.

For those seeking more information or updates on work zones, MoDOT encourages visiting their website at modot.org. Updates can also be received by signing up online or contacting them at 888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636). Additionally, MoDOT maintains a presence on social media platforms including Facebook, X, and Instagram.
