St. Charles County, MO – Drivers traveling through western St. Charles County are facing major delays today after westbound Interstate 70 was fully closed near Foristell following a tractor-trailer crash.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) St. Louis, the closure affects westbound I-70 at Route T/W in Foristell. The crash was reported earlier today, prompting an immediate shutdown of the roadway as emergency crews responded to the scene.
The closure is impacting a key stretch of I-70 that connects St. Charles County with Warren County and the greater St. Louis metro area, making it a critical disruption for commuters and commercial traffic alike. Motorists traveling westbound are being urged to seek alternate routes and allow for extra travel time.
MoDOT has not yet provided an estimated time for reopening. It is also unclear whether any injuries were reported as a result of the crash. Cleanup efforts and an investigation remain ongoing, and delays are expected to continue until the scene is cleared.
Drivers are advised to monitor MoDOT traffic maps, local traffic alerts, and navigation apps for real-time updates. Those approaching the area should consider detours well in advance, especially during peak travel hours.
Additional updates will be released as more information becomes available.
