St. Louis County, MO – A crash has shut down all northbound lanes of Interstate 170 at Interstate 70 in St. Louis County, prompting heavy delays for Monday drivers.
According to the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), the incident occurred late Monday morning, forcing a full closure of northbound I-170 where it connects to I-70. The ramp to westbound I-70 is currently closed, while the ramp to eastbound I-70 (Exit 7A) remains open.
Traffic cameras from MoDOT show long backups stretching toward Hanley Road, with emergency vehicles and tow trucks on scene. Officials are urging motorists to avoid the area and use alternate routes until the scene is cleared.
No details have yet been released regarding injuries or how long the closure will last.
Drivers heading to St. Louis Lambert International Airport or nearby business districts should allow extra travel time or consider detouring via Lindbergh Boulevard (U.S. 67) or Interstate 270.
