MODot answered my email
I finally broke down and emailed the jerks about the express lane being closed to westbound traffic in the a.m. I actually got a PROMPT reply but I’m not placated. It’s still bullshit. Like I believe that people ONLY travel through STL eastbound. Where are they all going? In a big circle that doesn’t come back through STL?? Whatever 
Thank you for your e-mail about the westbound closure of the express lane
on I-70. Below please find the response from our traffic engineer:
The closure of the east half of I-64 has resulted in increased morning
travel times on eastbound I-70 from I-170 to the Poplar Street Bridge.
Travel times have increased up to five minutes more in the eastbound
direction compared to the baseline morning times. The westbound direction
has remained the same as the baseline times. The evening travel remains
heavier in the eastbound direction. As a result, the reversibles will
remain in the eastbound direction all the time. The traffic on I-70 is so
close in either direction it is a difficult balance to make, but our
engineers will continue to monitor the travel times on I-70 every week and
make changes as traffic warrants it. For now, the travel times indicate it
should be eastbound all day long.
The reversible lanes could be changed in direction as needed to respond to
a crash or other incident along I-70. Otherwise, the reversible lanes will
remain open to the eastbound direction.
