MoDOT Scheduled Closures on I-35 in Clay County This Week

Drivers traveling along I-35 from Kearney could be impacted by road work over the next week.

Motorists driving in Clay County should prepare for temporary ramp and truck stop closures as the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) conducts pavement repair work from Thursday, April 25, through Wednesday, May 1. All scheduled work is weather dependent.

Traffic Modifications:

Revised Schedule: The southbound I-35 off-ramp to US-69 will be closed Friday, April 25, from 7 p.m. to 8 a.m. for maintenance.

Canceled: A previously planned closure of the northbound truck stop between Lightburne Street and 19th Street, originally set for nightly shutdowns from Tuesday, April 29, through Thursday, May 1, has been canceled.

MoDOT urges motorists to reduce speed and stay alert when traveling through work zones. Officials noted that work zones may vary, ranging from moving operations—such as striping, patching, or mowing—to short-term lane closures for repairs or debris removal.

MoDOT Kansas City maintains more than 7,000 miles of state roadway across nine counties. To receive work zone notifications, sign up online or contact MoDOT at 888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636).
