Crews will CLOSE Route AA/BB at I-70 March 18-20 for demolition work

     MODOT crews with the bridge replacement work along Interstate 70 at Route AA/BB in Grain Valley will close Route AA/BB (Main Street) at I-70 beginning at 6:00am on Saturday, March 18, until approximately 5:00am on Monday, March 20, for bridge demo work. There will be a signed detour for Route AA/BB.
     During this time, crews will also close the left lane of westbound and eastbound I-70 at mile marker 24 in Grain Valley. This work will cause delays in the area. Motorists are encouraged to plan ahead and seek alternate routes if necessary. All work is weather permitting.
     This project will be constructed over the course of three phases in the next year. Phase 1 includes bridge work and work within the median and is scheduled to be completed by early summer 2023. Phase 2 will address the westbound side of the project and Phase 3 will address the eastbound side. The project is anticipated to be complete by winter 2023.
     Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike. Work zones can be moving operations, such as striping, patching or mowing. They can also be short term, temporary lane closures to make quick repairs or remove debris from the roadway.
