Drivers on I-70 will see lane closures and significant delays this weekend

Drivers on Interstate 70 will see lane closures and significant delays this weekend. 

The Missouri Department of Transportation says travelers using I-70 will need to plan ahead. In each of the work zones, at least one lane will be closed, causing the flow to slow down. 

In some cases, traffic will be completely stopped for 15 minutes at a time.  

So MoDOT suggests alternate routes or to check MoDOT’s Traveler Information map or app.

There are major events happening along I-70, such as the Chiefs home game in Kansas City and the State Cross Country Championships in Columbia. 

Key work zones that could cause delays are in Columbia, and east of Kingdom City.
