Facilities Operations Update

Kingshighway utility work to conclude the weekend of April 5-8

Sent on behalf of Barnes-Jewish Hospital.

Contractors will finish the utility work in northbound Kingshighway just north of Barnes-Jewish Plaza, which started last February.

The work will start at 8 pm, Friday, April 5th and conclude by 6 am, Monday, April 8th. This work will NOT require a lane shift or detour; however, northbound Kingshighway adjacent to the patient care tower will be reduced to one or two lanes starting at 8 p.m. Friday and concluding by 6 am Monday.

The lane reduction is expected to disrupt traffic and cause delays on northbound Kingshighway. To avoid delays, team members and physicians who typically take Kingshighway have alternatives that provide easy access to all parking garages and lots, including the Plaza and Laclede garages:

  • From Hwy. 40/I64: the Boyle and Tower Grove Ave. exits
  • From I44: the Vandeventer exit or the Kingshighway to Manchester to Taylor
