MoDOT plans to close the left lane of northbound Interstate 35, at mile marker 25, for construction of bridge columns from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Thursday, Sept. 1 and from 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. on Friday, Sept. 2. All work is weather permitting.

This work is part a larger project, which is in partnership with the City of Kearney, MoDOT will construct a new interchange on I-35 at 19th Street (144th Street) approximately 1 mile south of Route 92.  The new interchange will cross over I-35 and will include ramps to/from I-35. The improvements will also include bike lanes and accommodate pedestrians with trail and sidewalk.

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.
