ST. LOUIS – Drivers who regularly use New Florissant Road (Route N) at I-270 should be aware of an upcoming weekend closure. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will completely close New Florissant Road between Dunn Road and Pershall Road in both directions and reduce both eastbound and westbound I-270 traffic to one lane over Route N, between 8 p.m. Friday, November 18 and 5 a.m. Monday, November 21.
The closure will allow crews to remove the remainder of the bridge over New Florissant Road. Drivers should choose alternate routes along Dunn and Pershall roads, to avoid the area during the weekend closure.
Detours for the New Florissant Road closure are as follows:
Southbound traffic will bypass construction by traveling west on Dunn Road to travel south on Hanley Avenue/Graham Road, to travel east on Pershall Road back to New Florissant Road
Northbound traffic will bypass construction by taking Pershall Road east to Washington Street/Elizabeth Avenue, to travel north on Washington Street/Elizabeth Avenue, to travel west on Dunn Road back to New Florissant Road
To stay updated on the status of this closure and to view a project overview and graphic displays of planned construction, please visit the I-270 North Project website at: www.i270north.org. Travelers can also contact MoDOT’s customer service center at 1-314-275-1500 or the I-270 North Project Team at:I270North@modot.mo.gov.
