Motorists who frequent Pershall Road will need to find an alternative route this Friday. The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has announced that Pershall Rd., from Hanley Rd. to Hazelwood Ave., will be closed tomorrow from 5 a.m. to 5 p.m. This closure is necessary to allow crews to pour the deck for the new I-170 bridge over Pershall, according to MoDOT's official announcement.
The day-long closure might cause some inconvenience, signaling a temporary disruption of the usual flow and rhythms of local traffic. Laying down the new bridge deck is a key step towards the completion of the infrastructural objective—enhancing connectivity and the communal arteries that bind the bustling, everyday lives of this urban space. Detour signs will be posted, directing traffic to use Hazelwood Ave. as an alternate route.
Pershall Rd. will be temporarily closed for one day as MoDOT works on the bridge in the area. This project is part of ongoing improvements to regional transportation. During the closure, drivers will need to use a detour via Hazelwood Ave., which will be clearly marked. Motorists are advised to plan for possible delays and allow extra travel time.
For updates and more information, commuters can visit MoDOT's website or contact their customer service centers.
