The lane closure will now be in place through Monday, Nov. 18 (extended from Nov.11) Crews are currently working on the inside lane through Tuesday, Nov. 12 (approximately). Crews will then move to work on the outside lane on SB I-29, Nov. 12-Nov. 18 (approximately). Crews have also closed the on-ramp at MO Route 273 in Tracy from southbound I-29. This lane closure is for bridge work over the Platte River overflow. Avoid the area if possible and use an alternate route. All work is weather permitting.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
