KIRKWOOD, Mo. — After months of being closed, the bridge that allows traffic to travel over Interstate 44 on Big Bend Road will reopen Monday.
MoDOT said construction crews would reopen one lane in both directions on the bridge as well as the lanes to turn left onto I-44 before evening rush hour traffic, weather permitting.
Work on and around the bridge will continue, MoDOT said, as crews work to finish sidewalks, the outside barrier wall and other tasks before the project is scheduled to be done.
The left lane in both directions of I-44 will remain closed as crews work on the median barrier and drainage work, MoDOT said.
Construction began in April to remove and replace the Big Bend bridge. The project is estimated to finish up in November.
