The Missouri Department of Transportation has temporarily closed the I-70 eastbound to I-35 southbound ramp bridge in Kansas City, Mo., because of deterioration to the ramp bridge, according to an announcement.
The ramp bridge will be closed until further notice, according to the announcement.
During the annual inspection engineers found significant deterioration to the structure of the ramp bridge, a spokesman said.
This is an aging bridge built in 1967 that thousands of vehicles use daily.
Motorists are asked to use alternate routes until further notice. Repairs could take a minimum of two to three weeks or longer, the spokesman said.
