The Gene Field Road Bridge over Interstate 29 in St. Joseph is closed until futher notice.

The Missouri Department of Transportation announced that the bridge will be closed after it was struck by an oversized load. Crews are currently evaluating the condition of the bridge.

Both the eastbound and westbound lanes of the bridge have been closed, so drivers will need to find an alternate route. The closure will not affect travel along I-29.
