UPDATE Sept. 18, 2010 -- MoDOT has re-opened westbound Route 40 at the Missouri River.

Sept. 16, 2010 -- The Missouri Department of Transportation will close westbound Route 40 at the Missouri River (Daniel Boone Bridge) for repair work the weekend of Sept. 17-20, 2010.

This will impact all drivers heading from Chesterfield to St. Charles County that weekend. Crews will close westbound Route 40/61, and all access to St. Charles County from Route 40/61, starting at 8 p.m. Friday Sept. 17 and will reopen the route by 5 a.m. the following Monday. During this closure, crews will continue to reset bearings, replace expansion joints and repair splice plates on the bridge. Access to St. Charles County using I-70, Route 364, and Route 370 will remain open.

The detour for the closure is taking I-270 to I-70 or using Route 364 to Route 94.  For people returning to St. Louis, however, eastbound Route 40/61 over the river will remain open.
