Crews with the Missouri Department of Transportation will conduct lane and ramp closures on Interstate 70 westbound at Route H outside Mayview this Saturday, Apr. 18 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

The work was originally scheduled to begin on Friday, but was delayed one day because of weather. I-70 westbound will be reduced to one lane and traffic will be run up and over the ramps at Route H before continuing west. Westbound traffic will not be able to exit at Route H. The Route H bridge will also be closed during this time, but the I-70 eastbound ramps will remain open on the south end of the bridge.

Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa is the third project in MoDOT’s Statewide Improve I-70 Program and will add a third lane of travel in each direction to I-70 from just west of MO Route 7 in Blue Springs to approximately MO Route H. The project also includes interchange improvements at Route D in Bates City and at MO Route 131 in Odessa. The project was awarded in Spring 2025 and is scheduled to be completed by the end of 2028.

All work is weather permitting.
