Big Bend Bridge Repairs

The Missouri Department of Transportation has begun renovations on the Big Bend bridge over I-270. Currently, crews are closing one lane overnight between 8pm and 5am through late May to prepare the bridge for work. Crews may also close one lane across the bridge between 9am and 3pm during the day for preliminary lighting work.

Crews will close the bridge in late May for three months to remove the driving surface of the bridge and replace it. The bridge is slated to close on May 25 and should reopen before classes begin in August. While the bridge is closed, drivers will be able to use the ramp from the east side of the bridge to northbound I-270 and the ramp from southbound I-270 to the west side of the bridge.
