Caution for Creve Coeur Commuters: Highway 141 Changes Coming

Ladue Road east of Highway 141 will close for up to 40 days on Thursday, October 13, after morning rush-hour commutes. Workers will be connecting Ladue Road to the new interchange that's been under construction for the past year.

The area was scheduled to be closed starting Monday, but was delayed because of equipment availability issues.

The new route and flyover bordering Chesterfield, and Town and Country, is designed to reduce congestion on Route 141 and at the same time ease flooding that led to traffic problems and potentially unsafe conditions.

Work is being done by the Missouri Department of Transportation and contractor Fred Weber Inc.

Drivers should use Mason and Conway roads as a detour around the closure.

For several months now, drivers have been using a makeshift detour on westbound Ladue Road to Hwy. 141, north to an intersection at , south along a portion of the new raised roadway at Hwy. 141 and back onto Ladue Road eastbound.
