(KAIR)--Saint Joseph area motorists should take note of a needed change in travel plans.

That comes as the Missouri Department of Transportation plans work in that area.

According to a press release, the ramp from southbound I-229 to Felix Street will close Monday morning at 7:30 and remain closed through the afternoon of the following Friday.

MoDot says motorists will need to use an alternate route during the closure.

The project involves work on expansion joints.

The timeline for the project is dependent upon the weather.
