MoDOT Crews Identify I-35 Traffic Changes

The Missouri Department of Transportation will be making traffic changes on Interstate 35 as part of the construction of the new I-35 and 19th St. interchange in Kearney. 

Crews will close the northbound left lane of I-35 at 19th St. from 7 a.m. until 4 p.m., daily, beginning Monday, April 25 and continuing until Wednesday, April 27 for median work.

This is all part of a project to construct a new interchange at I-35 and 19th Street (144th St.) in Kearney. The new interchange will cross over I-35 and include ramps to and from I-35.

This project will also include a Diverging Diamond, the second one in Clay County, and will feature two separate roundabouts, new bike lanes, along with a walking trail and sidewalks.

All work is weather dependent. Subsequent changes in traffic patterns in this area will be announced prior to the changes. This project is anticipated to be completed in the fall of 2023.
