Northbound Interstate 270 at Olive Boulevard lane closure causing 10 minute delays
Project Update: July 25, 2010
Dorsett Road at Interstate 270 reopened at 11 a.m. Sunday morning. All traffic on Dorsett has been redirected to the south side of the interchange. Traffic delays on Dorsett Road are expected during the work week since there will not be dedicated right turn lanes on the interstate from Dorsett.
The auxiliary lane, or exit only lane on northbound I-270 between Olive Boulevard and Page Avenue remains closed for the rest of the week. Currently, the far right lane of northbound I-270 is closed and is expected to reopen by 8 p.m. Sunday evening. We also expect traffic delays on northbound I-270 between Olive and Page during the morning and evening commute. Please consider using alternate routes, including I-64, I-70 and Route 370 for travel to St. Charles County.

News Release July 13, 2010
Interstate 270 and Page Avenue (Route 364) - Lanes on westbound Page Avenue/Route 364 have been shifted to accommodate the widening work. Drivers are asked to pay attention to the adjusted lane assignments. Traveling west on Page approaching the 270 interchange, the open right lane is an exit only lane for northbound I-270. Traffic wishing to go south on I-270 must be in the adjacent open lane. Hauling operations with flaggers are in place daily for construction equipment crossing the ramps in the northwest quadrant of the interchange. Fill material is also being placed on the north west corner of the interchange in preparation for a new dual lane ramp that will carry northbound I-270 traffic west on Page. As always, we ask that motorists be patient, slow for workers in the work zone, avoid distractions and pay attention to signs, pavement markings and flaggers.
