Highway On-Ramp Over Civic Center MetroBus Transit Center Reopened
Westbound ramps onto I-64, aka highway 40, are now reopened after being closed since late September:
Starting next Monday, drivers heading west from downtown will need to avoid the ramp from 14th Street to westbound I-64, as crews will close the ramp for two months to remove, repair and replace the driving surface.
Crews will close the ramp after 7 a.m. Monday, September 23. It is expected to reopen in mid-November. (MoDOT)
The ramp from 14th Street didn’t open in November, as originally planned. It reopened earlier this month.
This ramp was interesting as it goes over Metro’s Civic Center MetroBus Transit Center. It’ll be nice not having to go around all the barricades when going from bus to light rail, and vice versa.
New infrastructure is sexier, but it is far more efficient to maintain what we’ve already got — we can’t afford neglect and total replacement.
