Kansas City, Missouri – Crews are continuing their work on the bridge rehabilitation of the twin bridges on I-435 over Raytown Road. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has implemented traffic configurations to facilitate the construction while maintaining traffic flow.
Current Traffic Configurations

- There is a two-lane closure before Raytown Road, which will continue through mid-August 2024.
Southbound I-435 (SB I-435):
- A single lane closure over Raytown Road will persist through December 2024.
Motorists heading to the stadiums in the area are advised to plan ahead, leave early, and be extra vigilant due to the ongoing construction. Access to the stadiums from NB I-435 may be impacted. MoDOT will provide additional updates and reminders on their social media channels and via email alerts through the MoDOT E-Update system throughout the construction period.
