The closure of the southbound I-229 to northbound I-29 ramp in Buchanan County, originally planned on Wednesday, has been rescheduled on Friday. This change is due to weather conditions, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The ramp and connecting bridge will be closed from 8 a.m. to 4 p.m., as stated by the Missouri Department of Transportation. During this time, drivers will need to find alternate routes, as traffic will be affected. The closure is part of scheduled maintenance work intended to improve infrastructure.

Missouri Department of Transportation’s roadwork and detours depend on the weather. They ask drivers "to work with us by always buckling up, keeping your phone down, slowing down and moving over in work zones." These safety measures help protect workers and ensure safer roads for everyone.
