By Jenna Wilson

The north and southbound off ramps from Interstate 29 to U.S Route 169 in St. Joseph are scheduled to close Saturday for resurfacing.

The Missouri Department of Transportation Northwest District announced the closing as part of a larger project involving multiple routes.

Herzog Contracting Corp. LLC is paving the ramps as part of a multi-county resurfacing project, which includes sections of U.S. Route 169 in Andrew, Buchanan and DeKalb counties; U.S. Route 59 in Buchanan County; Missouri Route 48 in Andrew and Gentry counties; Route 45 in Buchanan County; Andrew County Route E; and Gentry County Route CC.

MoDOT and crews from Herzog Contracting Corp. plan to close the ramp, which is Exit 50 in St. Joseph, from 4 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Saturday, Sept. 7.

During the closure, motorists should seek an alternate route. Motorists can check what work zones you might encounter at traveler.modot.org.
