Closures and Flagging Scheduled on MO 33

Drivers in Clay County should plan for delays and detours as the Missouri Department of Transportation conducts pipe replacement work on Missouri Route 33 at 172nd Street. The work will take place from Monday, July 7, through Thursday, July 10, and is weather-dependent.

Traffic modifications for the project include:

Monday, July 7 – Thursday, July 10: 172nd Street will be closed on the west side of MO 33 beginning at 7 am, Monday through 7 pm, Thursday.

Monday, July 7: MoDOT will conduct a flagging operation on MO 33 at 172nd Street from 9 am, to 7 pm.

Tuesday, July 8 – Thursday, July 10: MO 33 will be closed at 172nd Street starting at 9 am, Tuesday through 7 pm. Thursday.

These closures are part of a broader infrastructure improvement effort along MO 33. A separate bridge replacement project is already underway, resulting in a full closure of MO 33 between Route CC and Burris Road near Holt and Kearney. For more details on that project, visit MoDOT’s website: Missouri Route 33 Bridge Replacement in Clay County.

MoDOT urges drivers to slow down, stay alert, and obey all traffic signs when traveling through construction zones. Work zones may involve lane shifts, flagging operations, or short-term closures for maintenance tasks like patching, striping, or mowing.
