Express router file has a TypeScript error

Question

I have the following module format:

import * as express from 'express';
let router = express.Router();

router.post('/foo', function(req,res,next){
    // ...
});

export = router;

but I am getting this error:

This is driving me crazy - how can I get rid of this warning/error?

I am on these versions:

"express": "~4.14.1",
"@types/express": "^4.11.1",

and tsc -v => Version 2.7.2

This gets rid of the error, but I don't know why

import * as express from 'express';
let router = express.Router() as express.Router;

seems very unnecessary to have to do that.

Like I said I am on these versions:

"express": "~4.14.1",
"@types/express": "^4.11.1",

and tsc -v => Version 2.7.2
