Work near I-70 Rocheport bridge begins tonight

You can expect some delays tonight, as overnight work starts near the I-70 Rocheport bridge to prepare for construction of a new $240 bridge project.

The state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) says crews will start working on the shoulders and median near the bridge, and that work will require periodic eastbound and westbound lane closures.

The work starts tonight and will take place between 7 pm and 6 am, through October
