ST. LOUIS – Drivers who use southbound Lucas-Hunt (Route U) to access westbound I-70 will need to find an alternate route for two weeks starting Monday, May 7.
Crews will close the southbound Route U ramp onto westbound I-70 at 9 a.m. Monday, May 7. The ramp will remain closed around the clock for two weeks as crews start work that will improve driving on the interchange.
This work is the first phase of a larger project that will provide enhancements to all of the ramps at the interchange. When the project is complete, the ramps will provide safer entrances and exits to and from I-70 at Route U.
Drivers may want to consider using southbound Jennings Station Road to access westbound I-70 during the closure.
Motorists are encouraged to give themselves extra time, slow down and pay attention while driving through the area. For more information about work zones throughout the St. Louis district, please visit http://traveler.modot.org/map.
