All lanes of I-44 are open at the I-44 / I-49 overpass in Fidelity after the bridge was heavily damaged in a June accident.
East and westbound lanes on I-44 in Fidelity reopened yesterday morning following a June 12th accident, when a trailer hauling a crane struck the girders of the I-44 bridge, causing what MODOT called major structural damage.
Bridge work is completed, however, new paint work on the bridge’s girders will impact I-49 traffic. Painting will take place through Friday, causing periodic lane closures and slow traffic. The work will be done from 7:00pm to 7:00am. Lanes will operate normally during daytime hours.
Clover leaf ramps at the interchange will remain closed for the duration of the repairs. Drivers are advised to find alternate routes.
