Jackson County, MO – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is warning drivers in the Kansas City area to prepare for overnight lane closures on eastbound Interstate 70 at Woodland Avenue beginning Wednesday night.
According to MoDOT, the work will take place from approximately 7 p.m. to 6 a.m. on both Wednesday, Nov. 5, and Thursday, Nov. 6. The closures are needed for pavement repairs, and motorists traveling through the area should expect possible delays or detours overnight.
All work is weather permitting, and MoDOT advises drivers to slow down in work zones and plan ahead for extra travel time. The affected stretch of I-70 is a busy commuter route connecting downtown Kansas City with eastern Jackson County, making timing especially critical for evening travelers.
MoDOT continues to coordinate lane restrictions and updates through its Kansas City district page, where motorists can view live traffic conditions and ongoing construction alerts.
