Double lane closure planned Tuesday on I-435 for Swartz Road bridge repairs

Northbound I-435 left two lanes over the Swartz Road bridge (between K-32 and Kansas Avenue) will be closed for bridge deck repair work on Tuesday, Aug. 19, between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. in Kansas City, Kan.

There will be one northbound I-435 through lane open to traffic during this double left lane closure.

Traffic control set up will begin around 8:30 a.m., so traffic may start slowing at this time due to activity taking place on the highway shoulders and right of way.

Traffic will be directed through the project work zone via signage, cones and arrow boards. Drivers should expect some delays during the daily peak time commutes and may wish to adjust their travel times accordingly.

Updated daily traffic information for this project and the entire Kansas City metro area can be viewed online anytime at: www.ksdot.org/kcmetro/laneclose.asp.

The Kansas Department of Transportation urges all motorists to be alert, obey the warning signs, and slow down when approaching and driving through the project work zone.
