Boone Bridge WB Will Close Two Weekends In December

KSDK - MoDOT will close the westbound section of the Daniel Boone Bridge on two weekends in December.

The westbound bridge will be closed from 5 a.m. December 1st to 7 p.m December 2nd, and again at the same times on December 8th and 9th.Advertisement



Officials say the inspections ordered in the summer revealed the scope of what work needed to be done on the bridge. Those inspections were ordered after an interstate bridge collapsed in Minneapolis.

The eastbound section of the Boone Bridge will remain open, officials say.

During the westbound closures, drivers going from St. Louis County to St. Charles County will have to drive to I-270, then north to either the Page Avenue Extension or to I-70.

MoDOT Cancels Boone Bridge Work Again

ST. LOUIS (AP) -- The Missouri Department of Transportation is canceling the closure of the westbound Daniel Boone Bridge that had been planned for this weekend.

The bridge links St. Louis County and St. Charles County on Interstate 64.

MoDOT spokesman Jack Wang says forecasts are calling for inclement weather that would make it difficult for workers to do repairs this weekend.

The plan now is to close the bridge for work in late January, if weather allows.

In August, after the I-35 bridge collapsed in Minnesota, checks of Missouri bridges revealed the need to do maintenance work on the Boone Bridge.
