Crews close S.W. Blue Parkway at U.S. 50, Missouri 291

The Missouri Department of Transportation closed portions of S.W. Blue Parkway on Oct. 18 to complete a temporary access ramp to westbound U.S. 50.

MoDOT said once the temporary ramp is complete, crews will close the existing westbound ramp and move traffic onto S.W. Blue Parkway to access westbound U.S. 50.

The temporary ramp will remain in place through summer 2018.

MoDOT said the work is part of larger project to reconstruct the Missouri 291 overpass bridges into a diverging diamond interchange.
