ST. LOUIS – Drivers who use Route 141 near Earth City should prepare to use alternate routes starting this afternoon, as crews will completely close the northbound lanes at Creve Coeur Airport Road due to flooding.
Earlier this week, floodwaters started rising on Route 141 at the intersection of Sport Port Road, forcing crews to close traffic to one lane in each direction. Since then, floodwaters have continued to rise onto the road.
Drivers on northbound Route 141 will still be able to access Creve Coeur Airport. The suggested detour for northbound is taking westbound Route 364 to Route 94 or eastbound Route 364 to I-270.
Crews will continue to monitor water levels to determine if southbound Route 141 will close. If so, southbound traffic will have to exit at Creve Coeur Mill Road. Suggested detours from I-70 will be exiting at Route 94 or I-270 to travel south. All closed lanes will reopen when floodwaters on Route 141 recede.
