The Missouri Department of Transportation will close two of the four southbound lanes on Interstate 270 this weekend.

The closures will provide a safe work zone for crews to continue bridge work in the area, MoDOT said in a news release.

The temporary lane closures will be between Interstate 44 and Gravois Road along I-270.

All southbound I-270 lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. on Monday

MoDOT suggested drivers use Hwy. 141 or Lindbergh Boulvard as alternative routes during the lane closures.

All ramps at the I-270 and I-44 interchange will be open during this weekend.

On Monday, all southbound I-270 traffic will be in the right lanes, the lanes will only be 11 feet wide and the work zone speed limit will be 45 mph.
