Drainage Improvement Project Beginning Next Week in St. Joseph

A project to improve drainage on Loop 29 (Pear Street) between 29th and 31st streets in Saint Joseph will begin on Monday, August 22.

Contractors from BRS Construction, working with the Missouri Department of Transportation, will also place a new culvert pipe beneath Pear Street.

During the culvert placement, Pear Street will close for through traffic.

This around-the-clock closure should happen September 12 – 17.

During the closure, motorists will need to use an alternate route.

All work is weather-dependent, and schedules are subject to change.
