Southbound I-35 lanes reduced at Southwest Boulevard today

Traffic reconfiguration will reduce southbound I-35 to one lane between 27th Street and the Cambridge Circle from 9 p.m. on Monday, Sept. 26, until 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Sept. 27, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

All work is weather dependent, according to a spokesman.

Once the new traffic configuration is in place, southbound I-35 will continue to have one lane closed through the end of October, MoDOT officials stated. This work is part of the bridge joint replacement on the bridge over Southwest Boulevard near State Line Road.

Work continues on northbound I-35. The northbound on ramp from the Cambridge Circle to I-35 and the 7th Street Trafficway on ramp to northbound I-35 remain closed until the end of October, according to MoDOT.

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