2019 Construction Season Work Zones<\/strong><\/em><\/span>

\u00a0\u00a0 Work zones will impact travel within St. Louis region<\/em><\/p>\n

Even though winter isn\u2019t quite in the rear-view mirror in St. Louis, MoDOT construction teams and contractors are already looking at the road ahead for roadway construction this year. Some of the anticipated work will start as early as the first few weeks of March, so MoDOT is sharing information on the projects within the greater St. Louis area that will have significant impacts on daily travel. These projects will have lane closures, often around the clock, and may have narrowed and shifted lanes.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have several projects along the I-44 corridor \u2013 from the Mississippi River all the way out to the Crawford County line. Two of them \u2013 the bridge replacement near Shrewsbury and the bridge work between Kingshighway and 39th Street in St. Louis City \u2013 will have very large impact on travel into and through the St. Louis City area. Like last year, we encourage drivers, especially along I-44, to review their options.<\/p>\n

\u201cSome may be able to adjust the time of their commute, or even telecommute several days a week. Others may want to consider alternate routes to get around the construction. For others, using ride-sharing, carpooling or transit options may be the best choice. We are sharing this information now so motorists know where the most impacts to traffic are expected so they can be prepared and consider what option works best for them as early as possible,\u201d said MoDOT St. Louis District Engineer Tom Blair.<\/p>\n
