ST. LOUIS – This weekend, drivers who use Kingshighway in the city of St. Louis will need to consider an alternate route as the road will be closed under I-44.
Crews will start closing lanes under the bridge at 7 p.m. Friday, April 12 to demolish the westbound I-44 bridge over Kingshighway. All lanes on Kingshighway under the bridge will be closed by 8 p.m.
Drivers will be able to get to westbound I-44 from the portion of Kingshighway north of I-44, and will be able to get from eastbound I-44 to the portion of Kingshighway south of I-44. Kingshighway will reopen under the interstate by 5 a.m. Monday, April 15, but one lane will remain closed in each direction around the clock at I-44, so crews can build the new bridge.
Drivers can use Hampton to get onto both eastbound and westbound I-44.
All work is weather permitting and may be shifted.
