Lane Closures Tonight on I-270 in West St. Louis County

Weather permitting, the Missouri Department of Transportation will begin lane closures Monday night on southbound I-270 between Manchester Road and I-44.

In a news release Monday, MoDOT stated that the closures are to complete the road widening project and they will take place daily during non-peak hours.

Crews will set the barrier wall starting Monday which will begin at Dougherty Ferry Road and continue north of I-44.

MoDOT said four through lanes will remain open to traffic and then beginning April 1, there will be 15 minute delays twice a day on weekdays for blasting.

The blasting will last approximately two months, while construction on southbound I-270 is expected to be complete by late December, the news release stated.
