Easton Road scheduled to close Tuesday for improvement project

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (KQTV) -- Easton Road will close Tuesday for full-depth concrete replacement and roadway widening project.

City officials announced in a press release Monday that the road will be closed from the east side of Leonard Road, approximately 200 feet east. The work is part of a larger improvement project designed to replace the entire road surface to 48th Terrace.

A detour will be put in place to minimize disruptions during construction. Drivers are encouraged to use Joseph L. Gray Drive to 48th Terrace to Easton Road.

The detour will allow access to all businesses in the area throughout the project's duration.

Motorists are also encouraged to plan, use caution in work zones and follow posted detour signs.

According to the City of St. Joseph, the Easton Road closure is weather-dependent.
