ST. LOUIS – Starting next week city drivers who use Tower Grove under I-44 will need to find an alternate route for a month.
Crews will close Tower Grove under I-44 starting at 9 a.m. Monday, April 29, to rehabilitate the I-44 bridge over the roadway. The work was delayed due to expected rain this week.
Tower Grove will reopen in a month. Drivers can use Vandeventer or Grand as alternate routes during the month-long closure. For pedestrians and cyclists, 39th Street under the interstate will reopen before Tower Grove closes.
This work is part of ongoing construction to replace interstate bridges at Kingshighway, Thurman and 39th Street and rehabilitate interstate bridges over Vandeventer, Tower Grove and the Union Pacific Railroad tracks.
All work is weather permitting and may be shifted.
