Signal project to disrupt traffic on North 22nd Street for several weeks

ST. JOSEPH, Mo. (News-Press NOW) -- Drivers commuting along North 22nd Street across Frederick Avenue will see notable detours lasting for more than a month, starting in May.

Starting at 8 a.m. on Monday, May 5, North 22nd Street will be closed on both sides of Frederick Avenue as crews work to upgrade a traffic signal at the intersection. North 22nd Street is expected to reopen on Friday, June 27, weather permitting.

The entire outdated signal system is being replaced with new mast-arm poles as part of the $350,000 project.

Traffic on 22nd Street will be routed along the following detours:

• Northbound traffic will detour from 22nd Street west onto Union Street to Frederick Avenue and continue just east on Frederick to North 18th Street. From there, drivers will go north on 18th to Holman Street before heading east back to North 22nd Street.
  
• Southbound traffic will detour from North 22nd west onto Holman Street to North 18th Street and then turn south to Frederick Avenue. Drivers will head west on Frederick to Union Street before turning east on Union to return to North 22nd Street.
