ST. LOUIS COUNTY • The Missouri Department of Transportation has canceled the intermittent closures of Highway 141 in the Valley Park area that had been planned for between 9 p.m. Thursday and 5 a.m. Friday.

MoDOT officials said the ongoing rain had delayed delivery of some girders needed for a related construction project. The work began as planned overnight Wednesday, as did related closures of lanes on 141 then, a MoDOT official said.

Intermittent closures of Interstate 44 in each direction near 141 are still planned for overnight Friday, MoDOT said.

The I-44 closures for periods of up to 15 minutes each will begin sometime after 11 p.m. Friday, depending on traffic levels.

That will be preceded by lane reductions starting at 8 p.m. All I-44 lanes will reopen by 6 a.m. Saturday.

The canceled overnight Thursday work has now been rescheduled for overnight Monday, along with lane reductions and intermittent closures of 141.

Work crews are erecting a new bridge and flyover ramp at the interchange of I-44 and 141. During the intermittent highway closures, motorists will be detoured via ramps and access roads.
