Bridge rehabilitation and resurfacing closed the eastbound I-70 ramp to northbound I-35 on the north side of the downtown loop on March 30 will now continue until July 27, weather permitting.

Excessive rainfall and added work have postponed completion to the three separate structures that make up the I-70 ramp to northbound I-35, including the ramp to Independence Avenue. Severe deterioration was discovered at a critical area of these bridges where the joints connect the three structures, prolonging the reopening.

Once the rehabilitation work is complete, crews will resurface the bridge creating a smoother driving surface for the more than 12,000 motorists who use this ramp daily.

The detour is simple and is signed. All traffic will be directed through a small circular route to reach I-35. For example:

For East Bound I-70, west of downtown,

• go south on the west side of the loop
• then east on the south side of the loop
• and north on the east side of the loop to connect with I-35.

Drivers coming from the south will be directed in a similar fashion.
