(KAIR)--Following a weather-related delay, work is now set to progress on the removal of a local-area Missouri interstate overpass that will impact motorists.
According to a release from the Missouri Department of Transportation, I-29, between Faucett and Dearborn, will be closed for 24-hours beginning at 10:00 tonight. That’s due to safety concerns for motorists and crew members alike due to the demolition of the existing overpass on Route 116. Traffic on I-29, in the impacted area, will be halted in both directions during the 24-hour period. Alternate routes will have to be used during the closure, including U.S. Route 36 to I-35. Heavy congestion is expected and delays along the marked detour routes are projected to be significant.
Clarkson Construction Company is the contractor for the project, which will be conducted in several stages.
