A lot of that depends on which direction you are traveling and what time frame. We have a lot of traffic coming into the area -- heading south on Route 367 and east on I-270 during the morning rush You can always view real time traffic information on our Traveler Information Map: http://traveler.modot.org/map/index.html.

Thanks for hosting these chats. Yesterday morning around 6:20, a driver of a pickup truck removed the barrier onto westbound I-44 at Lafayette. He then drove through onto the highway. I assumed that he was a construction worker. He did not put the barrier back in place after he drove through. It was like that again at the same time this morning. I am concerned that someone else could try to get onto the highway or construction zone. If he was a worker, shouldn't he have moved it back?

Thank you for sharing. I have passed your observation along to the construction team. If the driver was on the contractor team, you are correct, he should have replaced it. If the driver isn't on the team, they need to avoid moving the barriers as they do not know what the road conditions might be ahead and it is very unsafe. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

The new overpass was built wide enough to allow three interstate lanes in each direction -- four lanes in each direction if the department is able to get a design exception for narrow shoulders.
