NORTH ST. LOUIS COUNTY (April 2, 2024): Beginning Wednesday, April 3 at 7 a.m., MoDOT crews will close the ramp from Lambert International Blvd. to eastbound I-70 to repair the bridge deck and make other improvements. The ramp will be closed through the end of July.

During the closure, signs will direct motorists through detours. Drivers originally traveling Lambert International Blvd. to eastbound I-70, will detour by taking a left on Air Cargo Road, right onto James S. McDonnell Blvd, right on Route 115 (Natural Bridge) and take the ramp to eastbound I-70.

Motorists leaving the airport will detour west on Lambert International Blvd. and make a left on Cypress to the I-70 eastbound ramp.
