The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) reports the ramp will be closed from 8 a.m. on November 10 through November 21 for bridge painting as part of ongoing infrastructure work, which may affect regular traffic patterns.

The closure targets the bridge on U.S. 61, just south of the U.S. 67 and I-55 intersection. MoDOT has provided alternative routes for drivers affected by the shutdown. During the closure, northbound U.S. 67 traffic will be rerouted through a roundabout to southbound U.S. 67, allowing access to southbound I-55. Detour signs will be in place to guide drivers and reduce confusion.

Local drivers are advised to allow extra travel time and consider alternate routes during the detour. Patience will be key as MoDOT completes the bridge maintenance, ensuring the roads remain safe and functional for all travelers.
