Upcoming And Ongoing Road Projects in St. Louis
There are several projects coming up that will affect your highway travels in and around St. Louis this fall and winter. Here’s a quick rundown on them, with lane closures, times, and length of construction time noted. One reminder - the ramp from I-70 East to 10th Street closed October 10 permanently – please find alternate routes.
I-64 is undergoing massive construction this season – we’ll start off with I-64 in downtown St. Louis. Starting this weekend, all lanes on eastbound I-64 from Jefferson to 6th Street will be closed this weekend. This work will also affect two lanes on Poplar Street Bridge. Work is contingent upon the World Series results – if the Cards win, then there’ll be no work this weekend. In the sad and unlikely event that they lose, work will start at 8 pm Friday and continue through Monday morning at 5 am.
Further along on I-64 East, both lanes on the Chestnut/20th Street exit ramp will close for three weeks. Crews will be doing routine maintenance starting Monday, October 31, 2011 from 9:30 a.m., to 4:30 p.m. One lane on the Chestnut exit ramp will be opened by the work crews during off-peak travel hours. The eastbound 11th Street exit ramp will be closed weekdays from 9 am to 3 pm. Again, we’ll provide you with more updates as we find out about them.
On I-70 East, the right lane is closed closed from St. Louis to Broadway for retaining wall construction due to the Mississippi River Bridge project.
Continuing with I-70 construction work, the right lane on East I-70 is closed from St. Louis to Broadway until the summer of 2012, construction schedule and weather permitting. The express lanes within St. Louis City proper will be closed ’til the end of the year (2011). One reminder - the ramp from I-70 East to 10th Street closed October 10 permanently – please find alternate routes.
Moving on to I-44 in St. Louis, the Jamieson Bridge that passes over the interstate is closed. We’ll let you know when we have more information on that.
On West I-270, one lane on the exit ramp to West 370 is still closed this week due to emergency pavement repairs. It should be wrapped up by Monday, but due to the weather, it may run late. The other lane remains open for drivers, but MoDot is warning of traffic delays.
Starting Monday, October 31, there are several lane closures affecting East I-64. These are mainly during the day and only affect one or two lanes. Expect traffic delays. MoDot is trying to finish up I-70 construction work, so there are intermittent ramp and lane closures lasting a day or two. I-270 will also have lane closures next week from I-70 to 340 – be prepared.
As with all construction projects, times and dates are approximate. Double check before you leave to get the latest lane closures on your route. Be flexible – have alternate routes in mind if traffic backs up too much. Put a good map in your car to find alternate routes in unfamiliar areas. Keep tabs on our site and we’ll keep you up to date with the latest road construction projects and delays.
