Route N is currently closed in Cottleville due to last night's storms and the high levels of Dardenne Creek.  

The road is closed west of Weise Road, just west of downtown Cottleville.  Linda Wilson with the Missouri Department of Transportation says they do not know when the water will lower enough to reopen the road.  

With the road closed, motorists cannot drive from Cottleville to Route K on Route N.

 

   All lanes are cleared following a serious accident in the west end of St. Louis city.

   All lanes were initially blocked on westbound I-64 just west of Boyle early Monday morning . No word on injuries. 

Some south county drivers may face delays the rest of this week because of railroad work. St. Louis County Highway officials say Ringer Road will be closed between Royal Hills Drive and Viento in Oakdale beginning Tuesday morning at 7:00 a.m. It will remain closed through Friday, March 29.

The closure will allow crews from the Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railroad can make extensive repairs to the crossing.

A tractor-trailer fire caused delays for drivers along Interstate 44 in the City of St. Louis overnight.

Crews had to closed eastbound I-44 at Vandeventer just before midnight while emergency crews worked to contain it. The right two lanes reopened about 12:30 a.m. but the left lane remained closed.

It's not clear what sparked the fire, but the tractor and trailer appear to be total losses. Both have burned down to their metal frames.

There's no word of any injuries.

There had initially been some concern about a possible leak, but officials say all of the affected cars were empty. And no one was injured.

Officials expect to have Reavis Road back open by 7:00 a.m.
