The Missouri Department of Transportation has announced that one northbound and one southbound lane of National Avenue on the bridge over James River Freeway will be closed during daytime hours beginning Thursday, Oct. 1, and lasting into the week of Oct. 5.
Crews will begin removing a concrete median down the center of the bridge.
Crews will close the lanes between 9 a.m. and 3 p.m. Thursday and Friday, Oct. 1-2.
The outside through lane will be open in each direction and a very short left-turn lane will be available for National Avenue drivers who need to access James River Freeway. Driving delays are expected during the work.
No work is planned over the weekend and all lanes on National Avenue will be open to traffic.
However, on Monday, Oct. 5, crews will resume work on the National Avenue bridge. Each day through the week, a lane in each direction on the National Avenue bridge will be closed during the day.
Weather and/or construction delays will alter the work schedule.
Starting the week of Oct. 19, more extensive work is scheduled to begin on the project.
That’s when long-term lane closings and traffic shifts will be needed on National Avenue between Bradford Parkway north of the bridge and Kingsley Street south of the bridge over the James River Freeway.
Drivers can expect slow-moving traffic with delays getting through the work zone, with workers and equipment set up close to traffic.
