Work on this section will be complete by August 26.

Crews are still planning to close Route D between Route 94 and the Busch Wildlife main entrance starting August 29.  Drivers can use Route 94, I-64 and Route DD to detour around the closure. To get to the Busch Wildlife main entrance during this closure, visitors can take the Route DD exit off I-64 and travel south to Route D, then make a left on D to reach the entrance.
