Overnight Lane Closures on Highway 40 Start Thursday

Lanes on Highway 40 near the Spirit of St. Louis Boulevard bridge will be closed overnight for about a week to paint the bridge. 

The Missouri Department of Transportation said in a press release that up to two lanes will be closed, weather permitting. Starting Thursday, one westbound lane will close at 7 p.m. A second lane will then close at 9 p.m., and all lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. the next day.

This will happen nightly through Sunday night. The closures on westbound Highway 40 should be complete by 5 a.m. Monday, the release stated.

Then, crews will close eastbound lanes in the same pattern. One eastbound lane will close Monday at 7 p.m. A second lane will close at 9 p.m. All lanes will reopen at 5 a.m. Eastbound lane closures should be complete by 5 a.m. on May 13.

The work will be done by contractor St. Louis Bridge Company, the MoDOT release stated.
