First Phase of I-29 Bridge Projects Complete in Andrew County

Construction is underway on two Interstate 29 bridge projects in Andrew County north of Saint Joseph.

These projects include the replacement of the north and southbound I-29 bridges over Hopkins Creek and rehabilitation of the north and southbound bridges over Route T.

This bridge is included in Governor Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.

Crews completed the first phase involving closing both north and southbound passing lanes to begin construction of median crossovers.

Beginning yesterday, crossovers will be utilized to direct traffic head-to-head in the northbound lanes at the bridges.

The replacement of the southbound bridge over Hopkins Creek and rehab of the southbound bridge over Route T has begun.

Around early August, once work on the southbound bridges is complete, traffic will be directed head-to-head in the southbound lanes.

The replacement of the northbound bridge over Hopkins Creek and rehab of the northbound bridge over Route T will then begin.

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