St. Louis, Missouri – Crews will close all lanes of the northbound Interstate 55 ramp to eastbound Interstate 44 Saturday, affecting morning and early afternoon traffic.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation’s St. Louis District, the closure will run from 5 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. on Saturday, Feb. 28. The ramp to westbound I-44 will remain open during the work.
Drivers traveling northbound on I-55 who need access to eastbound I-44 are advised to use the Gravois Road exit (Exit 207A) and follow 12th Street as a detour route. MoDOT stated the temporary closure is necessary to allow crews to perform roadway work safely.
The affected ramp is a key connector for commuters traveling between South St. Louis and central corridor routes, and delays are possible during peak morning hours.
Motorists are urged to plan ahead, allow extra travel time and watch for work crews and signage in the area.
The closure may be especially relevant for weekend commuters and students traveling through the I-55/I-44 interchange corridor.
