JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (KMIZ)

A portion of Interstate 70 is scheduled to close Sunday, Sept. 10 so a demolition team can blast off a  truss of the old Missouri River Bridge at Rocheport, according to a Tuesday press release from the Missouri Department of Transportation.

The interstate in both directions will be closed, as well as a perimeter around the area, including a portion of the Katy Trail. The closure will start at 7:30 a.m. and will last about an hour, according to the release.

Once the area is secured, the demolition team will use a controlled explosion to drop the old truss into the river.

Crews will inspect the bridge and make sure debris is cleared before reopening the road.

More information can be found on MoDOT’s website.
