St. Joseph Bridge Moving Into Next Phase of Rehabilitation Project

A rehabilitation project on the north and southbound Interstate 229 bridges at Sixth and Atchison Streets in Saint Joseph will move into its next phase at the end of this month.

Contractors from Comanche Construction, Inc., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will close the southbound bridge on Tuesday, May 30, to all traffic.

During this phase, crews will make joint repairs to the southbound bridge through mid-August before switching to the northbound bridge.

Two signed detours will be in place, one for trucks and another for local traffic.

The anticipated completion date for the project is December.

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