Drainage Repair to Close 19th Street Interchange

The Missouri Department of Transportation is conducting drainage repairs on 19th Street in Kearney resulting in a full closure between I-35 east ramps to Watson Drive.

The road closure will begin Monday, July 29 at 6 a.m. and continue to Wednesday, July 31 at 4 p.m. There will be no posted detour. Motorists should use the I-35 and Route 92 interchange as an alternate route. All work is weather permitting.

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.
