St. Charles County, MO – Drivers using westbound Interstate 64 to reach westbound Interstate 70 will face an overnight closure Monday, October 27, as part of ongoing bridge construction work at the I-70/I-64/U.S. Route 61 interchange, according to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT).
The westbound I-64 exit ramp to westbound I-70 will be closed from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m., weather permitting. Crews will be shifting traffic onto newly completed pavement as part of the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville Project.
According to MoDOT, motorists traveling westbound on I-64 will need to detour to eastbound I-70 via Exit 1B, exit at the Route A interchange, and then turn around to travel westbound on I-70.
The closure is expected to impact overnight travelers heading toward Wentzville and the surrounding areas. MoDOT advises drivers to allow extra travel time and use caution while navigating detour routes, especially during nighttime hours when crews are working in the construction zone.
The project is part of MoDOT’s long-term effort to enhance safety and traffic flow at one of the region’s busiest interchanges. All work is weather dependent and subject to change.
