ST CHARLES - Repairs to the Interstate 70 bridge over Earth City Expressway planned for June 29 through July 1 have been cancelled due to the excessive heat forecasted for the weekend.  The 100+ degree forecasts were a danger to the workers due to long shifts and the physical nature of the work.   

The bridge repairs will still require two more weekends of closures to lanes on I-70 and ramps to Earth City Expressway.  Work is currently planned for the weekend of July 20-22.  More details to come on when the other weekend will be scheduled.

            For more information on the I-70 Blanchette Bridge work including the bridge repairs at at I-70 and Earth City Expressway, visit www.modot.org/blanchettebridge .  MoDOT reminds motorists to slow down in work zones and avoid distractions to keep yourself and the workers safe.
