MoDOT Closures Next Week

MoDOT plans to close the left lane of northbound Interstate 35, at mile marker 25 for utility work and to move equipment in the work area on Monday, Jan. 23 and Tuesday, Jan. 24. This closure will be in place beginning at approximately 6 a.m. until 10 a.m. both days.

This work is part of 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.

For potential impacts to traffic, please review KC Scout cameras at http://www.kcscout.net or consult our real-time traffic partner, WAZE. 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.
