I-70 Closure at I-70/I-64/U.S. 61 Interchange

MoDOT crews with the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville Project will close all eastbound and westbound lanes of Interstate 70 at the I-70/I-64/U.S. 61 interchange overnight Feb. 11-12. Crews will be setting bridge girders that require large cranes and swinging materials over the interstate. All work is weather permitting.

All westbound lanes of I-70 will be closed overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Wednesday, Feb. 11. Detours will be in place for westbound I-70 and southbound U.S. Route 61:

  • Westbound I-70 will be reduced to one lane and detour to northbound Route 61, (exit number 210B), turn around at Pittman Avenue, and use the westbound I-70 ramp to access westbound I-70.
  • Westbound I-70 traffic exiting to eastbound I-64 will detour exiting to northbound Route 61, (exit number 210B), turn around at Pitman Avenue, and use the eastbound I-64 ramp from Luetkenhaus Boulevard.

All eastbound I-70 lanes will be closed overnight from 9 p.m. to 5 a.m. Thursday, Feb. 12. Detours will be in place for eastbound I-70 and southbound U.S. Route 61:

  • Eastbound I-70 traffic will be reduced to one lane and detour to eastbound I-64 exit ramp (exit number 210A) and then detour using the eastbound I-70 left exit ramp to access eastbound I-70.
  • Southbound Route 61 traffic will be reduced to one lane and detour to westbound I-70 and use the Route Z interchange (exit 209) to turn around to head eastbound on I-70 or eastbound on I-64.
  • Eastbound I-70 traffic exiting to northbound Route 61 will take the eastbound I-64 exit ramp (exit 210A), detour to eastbound I-70 using the I-70 left exit ramp, turn around at the Route A interchange (exit number 211), and exit to northbound Route 61 (exit 210B).
  • Westbound I-70 traffic exiting to eastbound I-64 will detour and use the Route Z interchange (exit 209) to turn around to head eastbound on I-70 and exit to eastbound I-64 (exit 210A).

Work may extend with an additional overnight closure Fri., Feb. 13 to finish any necessary tasks associated with setting the bridge girders.

Road Closure – Linn Avenue at East Pearce Boulevard

Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 11, Linn Avenue just south of East Pearce Boulevard will be closed to accommodate the next phase of the traffic signal installation. Southbound traffic will be detoured to West Allen Street and northbound traffic will be detoured to East Allen Street and then to McRoberts Street. The center lane of Pearce Boulevard will remain closed during this phase. A map of the detour can be viewed here.

Schroeder Creek Water Main Project

The City is currently working to replace and upgrade the water main along Schroeder Creek Boulevard. This important project is a step toward improving water service to residents south of Interstate 70. Please be aware that the southbound lane of Schroeder Creek Boulevard, between William Dierberg Drive and West Pearce Boulevard, will be closed during construction hours, typically from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Northbound access will remain open. Detours are established for each closure, and coordination with the Wentzville School District is ongoing to avoid issues with school traffic.

Traffic attempting to travel south on Schroeder Creek Boulevard will be rerouted north on Schroeder Creek Boulevard, then east on Wentzville Parkway, south on Meyer Road and finally west on West Pearce Boulevard. A map of the detour can be viewed here.

The project will move forward in phases, with intermittent closures required as construction activity continues and as weather dictates. Weather permitting, this project is expected to be complete by early March. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the City’s infrastructure.
