(KLZA)-- The Interstate 29, northbound bridge over the Nishnabotna River will close Wednesday, March 6, for a joint repair.

Crews from Phillips Hardy, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, are completing the repair following a rehabilitation project of the north and southbound bridges located just south of the Iowa state line.

During the northbound bridge closure, crossovers will be utilized to direct traffic head-to-head in the southbound lanes of Interstate 29 at the bridges. A 15-foot width restriction will be in place for northbound traffic. The joint repair is expected to be completed in early May.

This bridge, along with the southbound bridge, is included in Gov. Mike Parson- $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
