KANSAS CITY, Mo. — Missouri Route 92 is closed in both directions at Interstate 29 after the bridge was struck Monday afternoon.
The Missouri Department of Transportation said the closure is indefinite.
During this time, the ramps at I-29 and the Route 92 interchange will remain open to right turns only.
MoDOT suggested drivers utilize I-29 to interchanges at Mexico City Avenue and Main Street/Route HH.
“Motorists are reminded to slow down and pay attention while driving in work zones. Not all work zones look alike,” MoDOT said in a statement on the closure.
Tuesday, MoDOT provided an update the bridge sustained "significant damage" due to an oversized load.
The transportation department suggests all motorists measure their loads.
"All MoDOT bridges have clearance of 15 and a half feet or more unless otherwise posted. If in doubt, measure it out," MODOT posted on X.
