NB Interstate 29/35 Loop Ramp to WB Armour Road Closing
NORTH KANSAS CITY, Mo. – The loop ramp from northbound Interstate 29/35 to westbound Armour
Road will close Monday, March 15, 2010. This ramp will be removed, and will be replaced in December
2010 by a new ramp that allows more vehicles to access eastbound or westbound Armour Road from
Interstate 29/35. The marked detour route will be Front Street to Chouteau Avenue to MO-210/Armour
Road.
This ramp reconstruction will be part of the new Armour Road interchange, scheduled to be complete by
