St. Louis, MO – Commuters in the St. Louis area will face overnight traffic disruptions this week as the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) closes multiple lanes along eastbound I-255 for pavement repairs.
According to MoDOT, two eastbound lanes between I-55 and Telegraph Road (Exit 2) will shut down on the following schedule:
- Tuesday, October 1, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Wednesday, October 2, from 8 p.m. to 5 a.m.
- Thursday, October 3, at 10 p.m. through early Friday, October 6, at 5 a.m.
Several ramps connecting I-55 to eastbound I-255 will also be affected during the closure period, with drivers urged to plan alternate routes in advance. The work is part of MoDOT’s ongoing pavement maintenance program to extend the life of the interstate.
Motorists traveling overnight should prepare for reduced lanes, slower traffic, and possible detours. MoDOT encourages drivers to allow extra time and remain alert in work zones for the safety of both crews and travelers.
