What You Need To Know About MoDOT Construction This Weekend

You'll want to pay attention to I-270, I-70 and Route 141.

(Written by Doug Miner)

Early Friday morning two lanes on westbound I-70 from I-270 to Earth City Expressway/Route 141, and the ramps from I-270 to westbound I-70 will be closed from 2 a.m. to 5 a.m. One lane will be closed eastbound I-70 from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m. 


The schedule is to have eastbound I-70 open to five lanes sometime early Saturday. Westbound I-70 will continue to have only three lanes open through the remainder of the weekend. Hopefully, five lanes will be open westbound I-70 by early next week.  Work is weather permitting.
