(MoDOT)-- Soon travelers will be able to drive on a new bridge on Interstate 29 at Exit 75, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation. Currently, both northbound and southbound motorists are being rerouted around the bridge closure at Exit 75 via the on and off ramps. Crews plan to reopen southbound I-29 at that location as early the week of July 13, 2015.
Northbound travelers, however, will still be rerouted on the on and off ramps at Exit 75. When crews removed the old bridge deck, previously undetected damage to a girder was discovered that was the result repeated bridge hits by vehicles. A new girder was ordered and put in place, but the delay in pouring a new bridge deck means the northbound lanes will not be able to utilize the new bridge until August.
U.S. Route 59 will once again be accessible for southbound travelers. Motorists will also be able to access southbound I-29 from U.S. Route 59, but only on the west side of the project. U.S. Route 59 remains closed under the bridge and travelers on the east side of the project will still be unable to access I-29 at Exit 75.
ll work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.
