Westbound Boone Bridge lanes closing for inspection


ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Westbound Highway 40 between Long Road in Chesterfield and Highway 94 in St.
Charles County is scheduled to be closed this weekend to allow crews to
inspect the Boone Bridge over the Missouri River.

The westbound lanes will be closed from 5:30 a.m. to 9 p.m. Saturday and
Sunday, the Missouri Department of Transportation said. The ramps from
Chesterfield Airport Road and Boone's Crossing to westbound Highway 40 also
will be closed.

MoDOT said the closure is needed to allow inspectors to complete the annual
Boone Bridge examination and to carry out a federal recommendation to
inspect all truss bridges in the U.S. That inspection is mandated because of
the Interstate 35W bridge collapse in Minneapolis last year.
