Repairs to Buchanan County I-29 Bridge Over South U.S. Route 169 Begin Next Week

A bridge repair project on Interstate 29 next week will narrow one lane of the interstate and U.S. Highway 169 in southern St. Joseph.

Mo-Dot says contractors will be making repairs to bridge girders damaged in a hit-and-run crash starting on Wednesday October 20 and continuing through Friday, November 19. Those repairs will force the narrowing of southbound I-29 to one lane at the U.S. Route 169 (Exit 44) overpass with a 15.5-foot width restriction.

U.S. Route 169 under I-29 will also be affected with no left turns at the I-29 and U.S. Route 169 interchange, a 12-foot width restriction will be in place, and the highway will be narrowed to one lane in each direction

As always, the work is weather-permitting and subject to change.
