Work begins tonight to restore I-44 west of Mount Vernon to normal traffic pattern

(From MODOT)

Contractor crews will begin work to return I-44 west of Mt. Vernon (between Mile Markers 42-45) to its normal traffic pattern – two lanes in each direction – prior to the busy Thanksgiving holiday weekend, the Missouri Department of Transportation said.

Starting at 7 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 26, crews will open the eastbound side to two lanes of traffic. Once that is complete, crews will move to the westbound lanes.

By noon, Wednesday, Nov. 27, all four lanes of I-44 will be open to traffic west of Mt. Vernon.








Lane closings east of Mt. Vernon (between Mile Markers 46-47) will remain in place until mid-December.

Weather and/or unforeseen delays will alter the work schedule.
