Summary

That massive sinkhole on I-44 in St. Louis is finally fixed—both lanes reopened faster than expected after a water main break caused the ground to collapse back in June. While traffic’s back to normal on the main stretch, drivers still face lingering closures: eastbound I-70 express lanes shut at Union Blvd, the Broadway exit from westbound I-44 remains closed, and Broadway north of Biddle blocks access to eastbound I-44. MoDOT’s still tackling repairs like barrier walls and bridge decks while they’re at it—so keep those detours in mind. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
