ST. LOUIS – Drivers heading downtown Saturday should be aware of a full eastbound Interstate 64 closure between Jefferson and 6th Street.

Crews will be working to make bridge repairs, replace crash barriers at the 6th Street exit, complete sign work, flush and maintain drainage, remove debris on old 8th Street ramp between the barrier walls and complete other necessary maintenance work.
