Drivers who use Interstate 35 south of Cameron will find delays over a two year period. The Missouri Department of Transportation announced a multi-year resurfacing project in Clinton County. The work includes a portion of US 69 and Interstate 35, from Shoal Creek to Route 116.
This spring,
- Route 69 – The lanes will be widened to 12 foot and a 2-foot shoulder will be added. The roadway also will be resurfaced, and guardrail updated to current standards. The roadway will be narrowed to one lane during resurfacing.
- I-35 – Northbound I-35 will be closed, and all interstate traffic will be shifted to the southbound lanes between Shoal Creek and Route 116. The existing concrete overlay will be removed from the northbound lanes and replaced. Before winter, interstate traffic will be restored to two lanes both north and southbound lanes.
In 2026, MoDOT will close the southbound lanes in the same area for the resurfacing.
The cost of the project is estimated at just under $38.2 million dollars.
