Atchison County I-29 Traffic to Move Head-to-Head

A joint repair project is coming to Atchision County next month.

The 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 just south of the Iowa state line.

During the northbound bridge closure, crossovers will 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 should finish in early May.

All work is weather-permitting, and schedules are subject to change.
