ST. LOUIS—There are some weekend road and ramp closures drivers may encounter in downtown St. Louis and in south St. Louis County. 

MoDOT will close eastbound I-44 in downtown between Washington Ave and the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge for work on the Broadway Bridge. 

The closure is to remove construction scaffolding and install drainage on the bridge over the interstate. 

Crews will close all lanes starting Friday, Aug. 11 at 9 p.m. with lanes open my Sunday morning.

Detour:

To detour around the closure, drivers can exit at Lumiere Place Boulevard (Exit 292), stay straight at the signal to get onto Lumiere Place. Follow Lumiere Place until it becomes North Broadway. Follow North Broadway to North Market, turn left on North Market and turn right on North 10th Street to get back on westbound I-70.
