▪  All lanes of westbound I-44 and southbound I-55 from the Poplar Street Bridge to the I-44/I-55 split.

Drivers will only be able to continue on I-70 to the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge or exit to Tucker, MoDOT said.

MoDOT plans additional closures at 7 p.m. Friday:

▪  The I-70 express lanes.

▪  The ramp from Washington Avenue to westbound I-44.

▪  The South Memorial Drive ramp to westbound I-44/southbound I-55.

▪  The ramp from the westbound Poplar Street Bridge to southbound I-55/westbound I-44.

▪  The ramp from the westbound Poplar Street Bridge to Walnut/eastbound I-44.

All lanes are scheduled to reopen by 5 a.m. Monday, MoDOT said.

To detour from the westbound PSB to southbound I-55/westbound I-44, drivers should continue on I-64 and exit at 21st Street/Market, MoDOT said. Motorists should then take Market to Jefferson and Jefferson south to the I-44 interchange.

To detour from I-70/westbound I-44, drivers should take Tucker to Lafayette to the I-55/I-44 interchange.
