February 22, 2021 — For immediate release

ST. LOUIS — Drivers who regularly use Dunn Road along I-270 should be aware that MoDOT will close the eastbound lane of Dunn between Graham and Washington, beginning March 1. For seven months, a single lane will carry westbound traffic, while MoDOT begins conversion of this portion of Dunn to westbound traffic only.

The westbound I-270 exit to New Florissant Road (Exit 27) will close permanently on March 1.

Detour routes for the closure will be marked. Drivers on the outer roads will utilize Pershall to travel east between Hanley/Graham and Washington/Elizabeth, using New Florissant or Washington/Elizabeth to turn around and continue on westbound Dunn to their destination.

Westbound I-270 traffic exiting to New Florissant (Exit 27) will be detoured in advance of this exit via the I-270 exit ramp to Washington/Elizabeth to access westbound Dunn and continue to New Florissant.

"Closing Exit 27 and the eastbound lane of Dunn are necessary to reconstruct Dunn, including all connections to side streets and businesses, and replace current highway entrance and exit ramps, called cross-over slip ramps, with new modern ramps to I-270. This work will improve both safety and reliability on this section of I-270" said Justin Wolf, I-270 North Project Director. "Once this section is complete, Dunn will be in its final configuration, with two lanes traveling westbound, and a third lane to accommodate traffic utilizing the Washington/Elizabeth turnaround bridge to enter westbound I-270 or merge onto westbound Dunn."

Please visit the I-270 North Project website at: to learn more about planned detours and details of the project, including a project overview and graphic displays of planned construction.

ST. LOUIS - Nov. 6, 2019 At its monthly meeting held today on the St. Louis Community College campus in Ferguson, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected Millstone Weber as the Design-Build contractor for the Interstate 270 North Project. The $278 million dollar project runs along I-270 from I-70 on the west to west of Riverview Drive.

"Seeing this project come to fruition is great progress for the community, the region and the entire state of Missouri," said MoDOT Director Patrick McKenna. "The I-270 North Project is MoDOT's largest single project in the last decade. It will replace aging infrastructure, enhance safety and resiliency of the system and improve mobility for freight and passengers, all while creating an economic boost for nearby communities. MoDOT's design-build model to scale the scope of work to match existing resources has worked well for us, and I believe it will with this project, too."

The I-270 North Design-Build Project seeks to improve reliability within the I-270 corridor, link communities, and enhance traffic operations so that the public has a durable and maintainable transportation network.

Challenges within the corridor include safety. Reports show that both directions of I-270 have higher than average rates of severe crashes. They also indicate higher-than-average crash rates, with eastbound I-270 showing an average crash rate 30% higher than the statewide average for interstates.

Other challenges include the corridor's position as one of the heaviest traveled interstates in Missouri, 140,000 vehicles, of which 18% are heavy trucks, travel it daily. In addition, the corridor offers limited pedestrian facilities.

"This project has been in the works for a long time and we are excited to finally move forward to address some of the challenges within the I-270 corridor," said Project Director, Justin Wolf. "While we know that a project of this scope will require patience on the part of those who travel throughout the corridor, we also know that the end product will be worth it."

MoDOT's project team will meet with Millstone Weber over the next several months to fine-tune project elements and construction approach. Improvements planned for the project include:

  • Reconstruct interchanges at U.S. Route 67 (Lindbergh), Hanley/Graham Roads, New Florissant Road, Washington St./Elizabeth Ave., West Florissant Ave, News Halls Ferry Road, Old Halls Ferry Road and Route 367,
  • Additional lane of pavement on I-270 in both directions from U.S. Route 67 (Lindbergh) to Route 367
  • Improve accessibility for bicycles and pedestrians with shared use paths from Lindbergh to Breezy Point Lane along Dunn Road, and from Hanley/Graham Roads to Old Halls Ferry Road along Pershall Road, and
  • Improve safety with an updated outer road system that includes outer road conversions and removal of cross over slip ramps.

"We are thrilled to be part of this significant project," said Thom Kuhn, President/CEO Millstone Weber, LLC. "We look forward to it being a model for how MoDOT, its contractors, engineers and the community can work together for the greater good. We and our partners are ready for the challenge."

Work on the project is scheduled to begin in spring 2020. Project goals are:

  1. Deliver the project by Dec. 1, 2023 within the program budget of $278 million.
  2. Maximize reliability and safety while linking communities for all users.
  3. Provide a durable and maintainable transportation network making Interstate 270 the conduit for a prosperous region.
  4. Grow and utilize a diverse workforce.
  5. Minimize and mitigate impacts to customers through innovation.

"Many of the people who have worked alongside of MoDOT to help make this project a reality have been reaching out to us to let us know how pleased they are that the project is moving into the construction phase," said Wolf. "We are excited too because we know that those who live and use the I-270 North corridor will be the benefactors of a much-improved traffic system to travel on."

ST. LOUIS – The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has hired Nina M. Thompson as Communication's Coordinator for the I-270 North Design Build Project. Thompson brings more than 30 years of experience in Public Relations consultation and strategy development to the project. Her past work includes helping businesses, state agencies, and non-profit organizations strategically develop and execute public relations and communications efforts, and 14 years in Missouri state government.

The project will address safety, traffic congestion, accessibility, and aging infrastructure along I-270 from I-70 on the west, to west of Riverview. Team members currently working on the project include: Project Director, Justin Wolf; Deputy Project Director, Eric Kopinski, Design Coordinator Jennifer Becker, and Design Builders Ploisongsaeng Intaratip, Brian Roth-Roffy, Sheron Thomas, Schuyler Noeth and Tabitha Locke.

To ensure workforce diversity related to the $252 million project, MoDOT established project goals of 18% Construction and 22% Professional Services. This equates to approximately $45 million for DBE contractors and consultants on this single project. Workforce diversity goals are federally set at 14.7% minorities per craft and 6.9% women per craft. In addition, the RFP requires the selected design-build team to have a minimum of eight On-the-Job Training (OJT) 1,000 hour slots, six allocated for construction and two for professional services.

MoDOT is also offering approximately $375, 000 in grant opportunities to local workforce training facilities and DBE supportive services during the duration of the project. In addition to the efforts MoDOT has taken to ensure a diverse workforce on this project, there is a scoring section worth 10% of the overall points, within which design-build proposers will be scored based on submitted approaches to public information, community outreach, and workforce accessibility

"This will be a challenging endeavor, but we have a great project team, strong project goals, and two innovative, nationally-recognized St. Louis companies competing for the project. Both teams have experience in Design-Build and interstate highway construction," said Wolf.
