Sinkhole Closes I-44 Through Sunday
Description
A massive sinkhole has ripped open under I-44 in downtown St. Louis, exposing a bridge footing and forcing a major shutdown between the Stan Musial Veterans Memorial Bridge and Poplar Street Bridge—expected to last at least through Sunday, June 28. Initial repair delays due to hard-to-source materials have been sidestepped by a new, faster plan from city and sewer officials, though reopening will still take time. Drivers face major detours: eastbound I-44 is blocked at Poplar Street, and westbound traffic must exit at Tucker Blvd or before the Stan Musial Bridge, then navigate city streets—adding chaos to downtown arteries like Broadway.
