During 2012 - 2013, the westbound Blanchette bridge will be under construction. Please note, Interstate Highway 70 will remain open! To better serve our guests, we have provided some additional information and maps with alternate routes. Click the image of the map below to download a PDF version, or visit MoDOT's website to stay up to date on construction updates. http://www.modot.org/stlouis/major_projects/BlanchetteBridgerenovations.htm

The two best alternate routes to 1-70 from St. Louis County are I-370 for those coming from the north, and I-364 (Page Avenue Extension) for those coming from the East and South. 

When coming from St. Louis County and taking the Page Avenue Extension (I-364) we suggest using the following route:

270 to 364 West (Page Extension) and after the Bridge take the first exit, Arena Parkway (Exit 14). Turn right and continue past The Family Arena until the Parkway dead-ends at Friedens Road/South River Road/5th Street (approx. two miles). Turn right on South River Road and continue approximately 1 mile to Veterans Memorial Parkway and turn left. The St. Charles Convention Center will be on the left hand side.

When coming from St. Louis County from the North we suggest the following I-370 route:

370 West take MO-370W to Exit 7, MO-94/North Third St. Merge onto N. Third Street/MO-94. Turn left onto Tecumseh St./MO-94 (roundabout). Turn right onto N. Second St./MO-94. From N. Second Street (approximately 1 mile) turn right on Clark St. and then left onto Fifth Street. Take Fifth approximately 1.5 miles (after the underpass of I-70) to Veterans Memorial Parkway and turn right.  The St. Charles Convention Center will be on the left hand side.

Getting to the Saint Charles Convention Center is EASY!
