Metro East drivers traveling into Missouri on Interstate 270 this weekend may experience delays, but evening and overnight travel into St. Louis on the Poplar Street bridge next week is certain to be difficult.
The Illinois Department of Transportation is warning that lane restrictions may cause travel delays along westbound Interstate 270 between Illinois Route 3 and the Mississippi River this weekend. The restrictions, to allow for bridge repair work, began at 9 a.m. Friday, Oct. 25 and are expected to continue until about 5 a.m. Monday, Oct. 28.
The two right lanes of the westbound Poplar Street Bridge (A.K.A, William L. Clay Sr, Bridge, nee Bernard F. Dickmann Bridge) will be closed between the hours of 7 p.m. to 4 a.m. Tuesday, Oct. 29 until Friday, Nov. 1. The closures are for sign replacement.
