MoDOT: Cardinals Fans, Allow Extra Travel Time to Busch Stadium

St. Louis Cardinals fans will have two lanes on eastbound Interstate 64 open for all scheduled National League Championship Games.

The exit ramps from eastbound I-64 to 6th and 11th Street will both be open to allow Cardinals fans to get to the games.

Cardinals fans traveling on I-70 should remember that the express lanes are closed into downtown while the gates await repairs.

All fans should allow a little extra time to get to a game.

MoDOT will also close two lanes on westbound I-70 between Cass and Madison next Monday thru Wednesday (Oct. 22-24) at 8 p.m. for construction on the Missouri I-70 interchange. The lanes will reopen by 5 a.m. the following morning.

The ramp from westbound I-70 to Madison will tentatively close at 8 p.m. October 24 for 45 days. Crews will reconstruct the ramp in its new location for the Missouri I-70 interchange. The work and Madison ramp closure will be rescheduled around any Cardinals’ post season home games.
