Bridge repairs planned near airport

Those headed for the Kansas City International Airport may encounter road construction on I-29 beginning Tuesday, April 21.

The bridge repairs originally were scheduled to start Monday, April 20, but were postponed by a day because of a delay in materials being delivered.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, crews will close the right lane on northbound I-29 between Route 45 to Barry Road at 7 a.m. April 21.

Motorists should prepare for delays as crews work to rehabilitate 12 bridges along the I-29 corridor between I-435 and I-635 beginning April 21 and continuing six months, a spokesman said.
