ST. LOUIS – Drivers in north St. Louis County get a little relief from congestion as two long-term closures are cleared from the I-170 and I-70 interchange this week.
Crews will reopen the ramp from eastbound I-70 to northbound I-170 Friday before 3 p.m. In addition, crews will reopen the lane currently closed on southbound I-170 between I-70 and Route 115 (Natural Bridge Road) by 7 a.m. Saturday. Work continues on the project to complete preventative maintenance on the various ramps between I-70 and I-170, so drivers can expect further lane restrictions and closures in the coming weeks.
