I-229 ramps to close temporarily for roadwork

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Ramps along Interstate 229 will be closed for a short period of time due to a road resurfacing project.

Herzog Contracting Corp., working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, has scheduled several short-term ramp closures.

The northbound Interstate-29 to northbound I-229 ramp and southbound I-229 to southbound I-29 ramp will be closed on Thursday, Oct. 9 and Tuesday, Oct. 14.

The southbound I-29 to northbound I-229 ramp and the southbound I-229 to northbound I-29 ramp will be closed on Friday, Oct. 10, Monday, Oct. 13 and Wednesday, Oct. 15.

As part of the resurfacing project, the ramps from I-229 to Buchanan County Route A, Missouri Route 752 and 22nd Street in St. Joseph will be closed temporarily as the paving operation moves through the intersection.

MoDOT said all work is weather-permitting and drivers should plan to use an alternate route.
