ST. LOUIS – Drivers in Jefferson County need to prepare for delays on Interstate 55 starting Friday when traffic is reduced to one lane in both directions for nine days at a time.
Crews will close one lane on northbound I-55 before Route 67 starting Friday, July 13 at 10 a.m. That means only one lane on northbound I-55 will be open. In addition, the northbound I-55 ramp to southbound Route 67 and the northbound Route 67 ramp to northbound I-55 will also be closed. The ramps and lanes will reopen by Monday, July 23 at 5 a.m.
Detour routes for the ramp closures are as follows:
- Drivers wanting to use the northbound I-55 ramp to southbound Route 67 should take Route A to Route 67
- Drivers wanting to use the northbound Route 67 ramp to northbound I-55 can take Route A or McNutt to I-55
In addition, drivers heading from St. Louis into Illinois overnight may want to avoid using the Poplar Street Bridge across the Mississippi River for the next two weeks, as crews will close a ramp and a lane each weeknight.
Crews will close the ramp from eastbound I-44/northbound I-55 to northbound I-55/eastbound I-64 bridge (the Poplar Street Bridge) across the Mississippi River each weeknight at 8 p.m, starting Monday, July 16. In addition, they will close the left lane across the eastbound bridge. The ramp and lane will reopen by 5 a.m. the following day. Work is expected to be complete by Friday, July 30 at 5 a.m.
