Buchanan County I-29 resurfacing project to begin April 6…
ST. JOSEPH, Mo. - The Missouri Department of Transportation has contracted Herzog Contracting Corp. to replace the approaches to the Pigeon Creek Bridge and Bee Creek Bridge and resurface a section of Interstate 29 from Pigeon Creek in Buchanan County (mile marker 39.8) to the Platte County line (mile marker 31). Work is scheduled to begin on Monday, April 6.
Crews will begin work rebuilding the outside shoulder of the interstate at the Pigeon Creek and Bee Creek approaches. Crews will then replace the approaches on the southbound bridges then move to the northbound bridges.
Once the approaches are complete, crews are scheduled to resurface I-29 beginning in August 2026.
Traffic Impacts: I-29 will be narrowed to one lane with an 11-foot width restriction in place. Motorists should expect delays.
The resurfacing is scheduled to be completed by mid-October 2026.
