That is the way that that type of roundabout works -- you need the two lanes to handle the heavy levels of traffic through there. The outside lane (on the right) goes through to 109. The inside light (on the left) takes you past 109 to 100, which you get to by merging to the right. Otherwise, the only benefit you would get for the inside lane would be for people making a U-turn. Drivers entering the roundabout are supposed to yield to ALL traffic in the roundabout, not just in their lane - Drivers entering from 109 or 100 should expect traffic to merge over into the outside lane. The signs, and the roadway markings help guide people through the roundabout. This type of traffic control helps move the varying volumes of traffic between Route 109 and Route 100 much more effectively than a signal would. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
Our contractor is scheduled to begin work on this project in early November. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
I have shared that with our traffic team to take a look at. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

We currently have no projects scheduled for this section of Old State Road. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
Work continues along the Manchester Road project between Big Bend and Lindbergh -- late this summer a lot of the contractor's focus on this project was in getting the bridge at Black Creek reopened to traffic -- there were some design delays, compounded by delays due to the flooding along Black Creek during those heavy rain storms. Crews will continue working along the corridor for about the next year, before the sidewalk project is complete. Once that work is complete, crews will resurface the roadway along the corridor. Locations of utilities (such as power lines) are the purview of the utility company -- you would have to discuss your concerns with them. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
We can ask our people overseeing billboards to take a look at it, and see if they can work with the owner to reduce the distractions. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I've reached out to the team to see if I get any insight on the progress of this. If I get anything back, I'll share it. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
