Underpass at 56th St. may open by Dec. 1

The NW Gateway (Route A) ramp to northbound I-29.

However, the 56th St. underpass (under I-29) remains closed. Crews still have some work to complete. Crews expect to open 56th St. by Dec. 1.

The replacement of the I-29 Bridge over 56th St. is part of a dual bridge replacement project. Crews will also be replacing the I-29 and Waukomis Drive Bridge. Work on that bridge is expected to begin in March of 2022.

These bridge replacement projects are included in Gov. Mike Parson’s $351 million Focus on Bridges program, which will repair or replace 250 bridges across the state.
