ST. LOUIS – Drivers who regularly travel westbound I-270 in North St. Louis County should be aware that the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will open two new ramps on Friday, May 19, at 3 p.m., weather permitting.
-The reconstructed entrance ramp to westbound I-270 at West Florissant Avenue will open. The new ramp provides drivers more room to enter and exit the highway safely.
-A new exit ramp from westbound I-270 at Washington Street/Elizabeth Avenue is also scheduled to open. It is approximately one-half mile east of the current ramp location. It will replace the existing exit ramp, which will be closed shortly after the new ramp is opened.
Both ramp completions are part of MoDOT’s I-270 North Project’s overall strategy to improve safety within the I-270 North corridor. To stay current on the status of this closure and to view a project overview and graphic displays of planned construction, please visit the I-270 North Project website at: www.i270north.org. Travelers can also contact MoDOT’s customer service center at: 314-275-1500 or the I-270 North Project Team at: I270North@modot.mo.gov.
