Hampton I-64 Bridge to Close

Full Closure of I-64 Scheduled for Sept 26-29 The Hampton Avenue interchange at I-64 will close Monday, Sept. 22 for eight months of reconstruction. This closure will include
the eastbound and westbound entrance and exit ramps.

Beginning Friday, September 26 at 10 p.m. through Monday, Sept. 29 at 5:30 a.m., I-64 will be closed under Hampton for the bridge demolition.
Temporary pavement will be put in place on Hampton to detour the I-64 traffic up the exit ramps, across Hampton and back down the entrance ramps to I-64.

The Hampton Avenue bridge will reopen with one lane in each direction by Memorial Day of 2009, and will be fully reopened by the Fourth of July.
While the bridge is being rebuilt, drivers can access Forest Park from nine other entrances off Kingshighway Boulevard, Lindell Boulevard, Skinker
Boulevard and Tamm Avenue.  Forest Park signs will be in place on Interstate 44 directing motorists to use Kingshighway, and on Interstate 70 directing
motorists to Interstate 170 to Forest Park Parkway.
