I-70 Closure for Bridge Demo Set for Late October - Over two months ahead of schedule, the bridge replacement and interchange project located on Missouri Route 19 and Interstate 70 fully opened to traffic today, September 18, upon completion of the north roundabout.

Plans are in place to begin work on corridor improvements to Veterans Memorial Parkway/I-70 South Outer Road near Foristell. This work will require a 60-day closure of Veterans Memorial Parkway/I-70 South Outer Road from just east of South Stringtown Road to just east of Archer Road beginning September 25 at 7:00 a.m. with plans to reopen by Thanksgiving.

The new bridge on Missouri Route 94 over Treloar Creek, approximately 3 miles east of Treloar in Warren County, opened to traffic on September 15, making this the last bridge on the Fixing Access to Rural Missouri (FARM) Bridge Program to be completed in the Northeast District.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY – Drivers traveling on eastbound Route 364 approaching the Missouri River Veterans Memorial Bridge should be aware of lane closures as part of bridge maintenance work. All work is weather permitting.

ST. CHARLES COUNTY – Drivers traveling on eastbound and westbound Interstate 70 at Route K/Main Street may expect delays during a bridge rehabilitation project on the I-70 bridge over Route K/Main Street. All work is weather permitting.

ST. LOUIS – Drivers who use Interstate I-64 in St. Louis County should be aware of long-term lane closures on the interstate, starting September 11. Weather permitting, crews will close the inside lane on eastbound and westbound I-64 near Ballas Road September 11 at 8 p.m. for drainage work along the middle of the interstate. One lane in each direction will remain closed around the clock until mid-October.

A reminder from MoDOT on how to Merge Safely 

Merging on highways can occur on highway entrance ramps, at exit ramps connecting two major roads or at work zones or crash sites where lanes are restricted. The safest merging is to think about two lanes merging into one. Not one lane merging into the other.
