KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Heading to the airport this weekend? Construction on Interstate 29 might have you rerouting.

A portion of I-29 will be closed for most of the weekend as crews set bridge girders at NW Tiffany Springs Rd. This is part of a Kansas City, Missouri project to build a new bridge over I-29 that will include some new sidewalks and a walking trail. The old bridge will be torn down at a later date.

Friday night at 9 p.m., southbound lanes of I-29 will close at NW Old Tiffany Springs Rd. and will remain closed for roughly 24 hours.

Saturday night at 9 pm northbound lanes of I-29 will close at NW Old Tiffany Springs Rd and will remain closed for roughly 24 hours.

MoDOT encourages motorists to use alternate routes during this time, like I-435 from the Kansas side and I-29 and Route 152 from the Missouri side. All work is weather dependent.
