ST. LOUIS As part of ongoing construction work to update six bridges in St. Louis City, crews will close Kingshighway under I-44 this weekend.

Crews will close the roadway between the entrance and exit ramps to the interstate, starting at 9 p.m. Friday, May 4 to demolish the I-44 bridge over Kingshighway.

Detours will be marked.

All lanes of Kingshighway under the interstate should reopen by 6 a.m. Monday, May 7. One lane on Kingshighway under the bridge will remain closed around the clock until mid-August.
