To this casual observer, It does not appear that the new Manchester (Highway 100) bridge in Brentwood is very close to completion. Can you comment on the status of the job and when it likely to be completed? I thought that work was scheduled to wrap-up around Labor Day, originally. …it appears that the new bridge surface is substantially higher than the surrounding roadways, such as on Hanley. Will the adjacent roads’ surfaces need to be re-paved before the bridge can be utilized? -
Crews opened four lanes on the bridge to traffic Monday night -- two westbound lanes, one eastbound lane and one eastbound left turn lane. There is still some work around the bridge to complete the sidewalk work and the last two lanes. That should continue through about mid-October. We were originally scheduled to have lanes open to traffic in early September, but some utility issues and the major flooding through the area delayed that anticipated opening. We will be adjusting some of the pavement on Hanley to meet the updated grades through the course of the project. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications -
Using the highway closure downtown this weekend would seem to be a great time for crews to clean up the debris, cut vegetation, remove graffiti, and replace the burnt out lights under the Arch park lid -- things that have been ignored for months. After all, you found time to stripe the closed reversible lanes for no real reason while those lanes remain closed.

What day will I-44 be shutdown in the depressed lanes? I believe on the news and the Post Dispatch's website that the date is Friday, the 23rd. However, the message board on eastbound I-44 past Jefferson states that it closes on 9/22 at 7:00 p.m. which means that it would drastically affect Friday rush hour traffic. Which date is correct?

For the city: a traffic signal on the NE side of the shopping center entrance on Watson at the city limit is supposed to face E-bound W, but has been turned to face traffic exiting the sc - could cause a nasty accident. There also a jarring patch in the R lane of E-bound Chippewa, a bit W of the garage entrance to Target. Thanks.

There is significant overgrowth of grass and weeds along St. Charles Rock Road between Lindbergh and 270. I understand that much of this overgrowth is the responsibility of MoDot. Is there a plan to get it cut anytime soon? The Lindbergh/RR intersection is so overgrown you cannot see oncoming traffic.
