Rehab Work Set to Begin on the 128th Street Bridge Over I-35

The Missouri Department of Transportation is set to begin an extensive bridge rehabilitation project at 128th St. and Interstate 35 in Clay County, MO. MoDOT KC will make the following traffic changes as part of the project. All work is weather dependent.

Crews will close the 128th St Bridge over I-35 beginning Wednesday, Aug. 26 and will remain closed until Wednesday, Oct. 28 for removing and replacing the bridge deck. Work will also include substructure repairs. There will be periodic lane closures on northbound and southbound I-35 while the bridge is under construction. Details of those closures will be released at a later date.

This bridge project is included in Governor Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.

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.
