Lane Closures and Reduced Speed Limits Start June 9

Drivers who frequent Interstate-270 in North St. Louis County near Interstarte -70 may want find alternate routes starting this week.

Starting Saturday, June 9, crews will restrict southbound I-270 from five to three narrowed lanes from I-70 to Dorsett. These lane closures/restrictions are expected to remain through July. The posted speed limit will be 45 miles per hour. Motorists may experience up to 30-minute delays while driving through this area, especially during morning and evening rush hours.

This is part of the ongoing reconstruction to the Fee Fee Creek bridge located underneath I-270 between Dorsett and I-70. This work will replace the bridge driving surface on I-270 above the bridge and will last through July.

In addition to lane closures, this construction will include lane switches and a ramp closure on the I-270 and Dorsett interchange. More details will follow as these changes occur.

Drivers are encouraged to pay attention and allow themselves plenty of time to travel through the work zone. For more information about work zones throughout the St. Louis district, please visit http://traveler.modot.org/map.
