Jefferson County, MO – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will close McNutt Street under Interstate 55 overnight from 9 p.m. Friday, November 7, to 5 a.m. Saturday, November 8, for bridge construction work.
According to MoDOT, the closure will allow crews to shift northbound I-55 traffic onto a newly built bridge over McNutt Street, a key step in the replacement of the existing northbound I-55 bridge.
During the closure, drivers on McNutt Street will not be able to travel under the interstate. Signed detours will direct motorists to US 61/67 to access northbound I-55. MoDOT officials encourage travelers to plan ahead, allow extra time, and use alternate routes to avoid delays.
The overnight construction is part of MoDOT’s ongoing efforts to improve bridge safety and traffic flow along I-55 in Jefferson County.
Motorists should expect lane changes and possible congestion near the work zone during the traffic shift early Saturday morning.
