Commuters heading into Chesterfield Valley via westbound Interstate 64 should expect delays or consider alternate routes today. MoDOT has announced that the ramp to Boone’s Crossing (Exit 17) will be closed for pavement repairs from 4 a.m. to 3 p.m., weather permitting.
While the Boone's Crossing ramp takes a daylight hiatus, the bridge that spans I-64, the ramps funneling traffic from eastbound I-64 to Boone’s Crossing, and access to the outer roads in both directions will stay open, keeping a lifeline for those seeking passage in and out of the bustling commercial heartbeat that is Chesterfield Valley. For those navigating the concrete grid during the shutdown, a detour will be essential.
MoDOT suggests that drivers should detour around the closure by taking the next exit, Exit 16, to Long Road, then dipping onto Chesterfield Airport Road to make their way to destinations like Chesterfield Commons or The District of St. Louis.
The temporary shuttering of the Boone's Crossing ramp might pose an inconvenience, but given the necessity for the pavement to be maintained for safer travels, MoDOT is urging drivers to plan ahead and be patient.
