Eastbound I-670 to close for bridge work on Saturday, Sept. 24

Crews will close all eastbound lanes of I-670 between I-35 and I-70-71 on the south side of the downtown loop from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 24, for work on the new Grand Avenue Bridge in Kansas City, Mo., according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

All work is weather dependent, a spokesman said.

Traffic can bypass the closure using eastbound I-70 – I-35 around the north side of the downtown loop, according to the spokesman.

Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention as they drive past work zones, the spokesman said. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing, according to the spokesman. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
