Work originally scheduled for Saturday, Feb. 13, has been changed, according to information from the Missouri Department of Transportation.
Crews will close the northbound and southbound lanes of U.S. 69 bridge over the Missouri River from 6 p.m. Tuesday, Feb. 16, through 2 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 17. This is a changed schedule from a previous announcement.
Motorists will need to find an alternate route to access Platte and Wyandotte counties, a spokesman said. This closure could affect industrial workers on both sides of the state line. All work is weather-dependent.
This is part of replacing the current U.S. 69 Bridge over the Missouri River., the spokesman said. A new structure will be constructed in its place and will include multiple lanes and bike/pedestrian access. It will be open to traffic in December 2016.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is asking motorists to be alert, obey warning signs and use caution when driving through work zones.
