Several lanes in one section of Interstate 70 were closed Monday while crews do an urgent repair to a loose plate at a bridge joint in Kansas City, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation.

Crews closed two lanes of Interstate 70 just west of Interstate 435 starting at 3 p.m.

Construction is expected to last through the evening hours.

MoDOT encouraged drivers to slow down and pay attention in work zones.
