ST. LOUIS – Drivers who use I-270 this weekend should be aware of several ramp closures as part of on-going maintenance work along the corridor.
All work is weather permitting.
Crews will close the ramp from westbound I-270/I-255 to southbound I-55 and the ramp from Lemay Ferry to westbound I-270 as well as three lanes on westbound I-255/Interstate 270 at the I-55 interchange. That closure will leave two through lanes open in the area. The lanes close on Friday, June 9 at 8 p.m and ramps close at 9 p.m. The lanes and the ramps will reopen on Monday, June 12 by 5 a.m.
The closures will allow crews to place coating on the steel girders over the interstate.
The detour route for westbound I-270/I-255 ramp to southbound I-55 will be to continue on I-270, exit at Tesson Ferry (Exit #2) and head eastbound on I-270 to take the exit ramp to southbound I-55 (Exit 1A)
The detour for the ramp closure from Lemay Ferry to westbound I-255 will be to continue northbound on Lemay Ferry to Lindbergh, take a left on Lindbergh and follow Lindbergh to I-55. At that point drivers can choose to remain on I-55 or head west on I-270.
In addition, crews will close the ramp from westbound I-64 to southbound I-270 (Exit 25) starting June 9 at 9 p.m. The ramp will reopen June 12 by 5 a.m.
Crews will be placing a new epoxy over lay on the ramp.
Drivers can take the ramp to northbound I-270, exit at Ladue Road (exit 13) to cross under the interstate and head southbound on I-270 as a detour.
