I-64 at Vandeventer and Grand virtual public meeting

Interstate 64 in this area has aged. Like the portion of interstate to the west between Spoede and Kingshighway completed in 2010, much of the roadway needs to be rebuilt to keep it in good working condition. This includes major work on nine bridges, including in both directions over Vandeventer. The eastbound interstate bridge has reached the end of its useful life and needs to be replaced, while the westbound bridge is scheduled for significant rehabilitation.   Plans currently include closing eastbound I-64 over Vandeventer for roughly a year to remove and replace the bridge, with rehabilitation work planned for the westbound bridge mostly after the eastbound work is complete. Traffic will be detoured onto city streets. Since the interstate over Vandeventer will be closed, and traffic detoured on Vandeventer and Forest Park Avenue, MoDOT also plans to work with partners to make improvements around the Grand interchange with eastbound I-64.
