Southbound I-49 Ramp to Route 58 Improvements Begin After Memorial Day

BELTON - Construction to improve safety and capacity at the southbound I-49 ramp to Route 58 will begin with a nighttime closure of the left lane of the ramp on May 28. The left lane of the ramp will be closed from 8 p.m. Tuesday, May 28, to 8 a.m. Wednesday, May 29, to mill and pave the left shoulder for a wider ramp. Once completed, the additional lane width will allow construction beginning May 29 of a longer exit ramp and wider pavement and shoulder. The work will restrict traffic at times through July 8. Once completed, the southbound I-49 exit ramp to Route 58 will have more capacity and reduce backups that have slowed or blocked the right through lane of southbound I-49 just north of the Route 58 interchange. Ground Breaking Excavation and Utilities, LLC of Pleasant Hill was awarded the $708,565 contract for the improvements.
