MoDOT holds public meetings to discuss maintenance on I-44 bridges

ST. LOUIS - Residents along Interstate 44 in the city of St. Louis and St. Louis County may want to attend one of two public meetings to discuss maintenance on 32 bridges along the corridor.

The first meeting is in St. Louis County, October 15, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Meramec Campus of St. Louis Community College Lecture Hall, 11333 Big Bend Rd, St Louis, MO. Recommended parking for the meeting is in lots I, J or K. The second meeting is in the city of St. Louis, October 17, from 4 to 6 p.m. at the Missouri Foundation for Health, 4254 Vista Avenue, St. Louis MO 63110. The same information will be shared at both meetings.

The Missouri Department of Transportation is holding the open house-style public meeting to gather concerns about and discuss plans to maintain, replace or rehabilitate more than 30 bridges on or over Interstate 44 between Nebraska Avenue in the City of St. Louis and Fox Creek, west of Six Flags, in St. Louis County. The work is expected to start in 2026.

During the meetings, MoDOT engineers will share information on the bridges and will gather concerns about those bridges for consideration in design plans.

There will be no formal presentation. Participants may attend either meeting at any time between 4 p.m. and 6 p.m.

For those who are unable to attend the meeting in person, the information shared during the meeting as well as a survey form will be available at Interstate 44 Bridge Maintenance in St. Louis and St. Louis City | Missouri Department of Transportation (modot.org) before the meeting. People are welcome to view the information and provide comments about the roadway until Friday, November 1.

This meeting will allow the public to share their thoughts and concerns about the corridor and provide comments, either directly to the engineers or through the survey, on those concerns.
