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.
