Blasting operations are scheduled on Interstate 70 near the Missouri River this week as part of the Improve I-70 Project. The Missouri Department of Transportation announced that contractors will use explosives to blast portions of the rock alongside the interstate between Boone County Route BB and the Missouri River. Short-term closures of the ramp from Route BB onto westbound Interstate 70 will be required, along with rolling interstate roadblocks. The closures are expected to last 15 minutes each.
