BUCHANAN COUNTY: There will be various short-term closures of I-229 Double-Decker Bridge on/off ramps tomorrow, Tuesday, Oct. 20 and Wednesday, Oct. 21. Bridge crews expect to close each ramp for a few hours while completing their inspections. More info: https://www.modot.org/node/98405

The I-229 Double-Decker Bridge inspection and annual maintenance took place earlier this month, but the bridge was reopened early and the ramps were not completed due to weather.

Fighting winter storms to get Missouri roads clear is one of the most critical functions we serve as a Department of Transportation. Crews prepare throughout October to ensure they are ready to clear roadways when there is a winter event.
MoDOT follows plowing priorities focused on interstates and other high volume major roads first. As those road conditions improve, plows focus on smaller numbered and lettered routes and then shoulders, outer roads, ramps and intersections.

Don't be alarmed if you see our snow plows out today, it's our Winter Weather Drill Day! We use today as an opportunity to brush up on our skills as the winter months approach. Please keep an eye out for our crews and give them room to do their jobs safely 🚧❄️
