The project, which will replace the bridges in the interchange, remove left exits and more, will begin Thursday, March 7 with various lane closures to set up detour signs and other equipment for the project.
Then, on Monday, March 11, Missouri Department of Transportation crews will close the eastbound I-70 ramp to Manchester Trafficway and the Manchester Trafficway on-ramp to westbound I-70. These ramps are expected to be closed through December 2020.
Later in the week, crews will close the westbound I-70 loop ramp to southbound I-435 until approximately December 2020. A signed detour will take traffic from westbound I-70 to Manchester to turn around on eastbound I-70 to southbound I-435.
The eastbound I-70 loop ramp to northbound I-435 will also be closed during the week until approximately December 2020. A signed detour will use U.S. 40 starting near 31st Street to northbound I-435.
MoDOT says traffic will be impacted along I-435 Northbound to I-70 Westbound, I-435 Southbound to I-70 Eastbound, and the Blue Ridge Cutoff.
