Drivers heading west on Interstate 44 at Interstate 270 will need to choose an alternate route next weekend, when the highway will close for repairs after an oversized load damaged a bridge girder.

The closure begins at 10 p.m. Friday and the ramp from northbound I-270 to westbound I-44 will also close.

The ramp from southbound I-270 to westbound I-44 will remain open as well as the ramp from westbound Route 366 to northbound I-270. There will be no access to westbound I-44 from westbound Route 366.

Work crews will be making repairs to a girder damaged by an oversized load in July, their second weekend addressing that issue.

The affected areas will reopen on Monday by 10 a.m.
