Westbound Blanchette Bridge Down to One Lane Friday Night

The Missouri Department of Transportation will close two lanes on westbound Interstate 70 at 11 p.m. Friday.

Drivers heading west on the Blanchette Bridge late Friday night should be aware of lane closures planned between 11 p.m. March 29 and 8 a.m. March 30. 

The Missouri Department of Transportation will have just one westbound lane open and will also close the exit to southbound Fifth Street during that time, according to a press release.

Alternate routes include Highway 370 or Interstate 364. The northbound Fifth Street exit will remain open, so motorists heading south can exit there and turn around.
