I-70 Express Lanes to Remain Closed Through Mid-November

MoDOT reports on St. Louis Work zones through the beginning of November.

Hazelwood drivers heading to work on this Wednesday hump day should keep in mind some routes that may affect route plans.

The Missouri Department of Transportation closed two lanes on westbound I-64 at the Poplar Street Bridge until 5:30 a.m. Sunday, Oct. 28.

The I-70 express lanes into downtown remain closed until mid-November to let crews working on the Mississippi River Bridge take advantage of a maintenance closure to complete work on the bridge. The ramp from westbound I-70 to Madison is closed for 45 days so crews can reconstruct the ramp for the Missouri I-70 interchange.
