ST. CHARLES COUNTY, MO – Drivers heading west through St. Charles County should expect overnight detours Wednesday, October 29, as crews close the I-64 exit ramp to westbound I-70 for construction work. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) says the closure will last from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Thursday, weather permitting.
According to MoDOT, the “Improve I-70” team plans to resume the project now that conditions have improved and pavement has dried. The closure allows workers to complete repairs safely overnight while minimizing traffic disruption.
During the closure, westbound I-64 traffic will be detoured to the eastbound I-64 exit ramp (Exit 1B), then directed to exit at Route A to turn around and access westbound I-70.
Drivers should allow extra travel time and follow posted detour signs. MoDOT reminds motorists to use caution in work zones and slow down for crews working overnight.
All work remains weather permitting, and any changes to the schedule will be shared on MoDOT’s social channels and traffic alert systems.
