St. Charles County, MO – Drivers on Interstate 70 should plan ahead tonight as the eastbound exit ramp to Route Z will be closed overnight for road work.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the closure will begin at 10 p.m. Tuesday, October 2, and last until 5 a.m. Wednesday, October 3. The shutdown will allow crews to install a barrier wall along eastbound I-70 as part of the Improve I-70 project between Warrenton and Wentzville.
MoDOT officials said the temporary closure is necessary for worker and driver safety as construction crews continue widening the interstate through St. Charles County. Drivers traveling eastbound on I-70 will not be able to use the Route Z exit during these hours.
Motorists are advised to seek alternate routes, and delays may occur near the construction zone. MoDOT recommends planning for extra travel time and following posted detour signs.
The I-70 improvement project is one of Missouri’s largest ongoing transportation initiatives, designed to increase capacity and improve traffic flow across the region.
