Ask the Road Crew
Is your route to work giving you a headache because of potholes, poorly timed lights or street construction? Let the experts know, and ask them your questions about highways and roads. The live chat starts at 1 p.m. on Wednesday, June 12.

On southbound Berry Road at the eastbound I-44 on-ramp, why (oh, why?) is there a red arrow as well as a yellow arrow? Especially when oncoming northbound Berry Road traffic also has a yield sign for traffic attempting to get on eastbound I-44, and other northbound traffic apparently has a red light at the same time that southbound traffic has a red arrow. -

Grant Road at Gravois - It appears that EB Gravois traffic, wanting to turn left, is programmed to receive its green arrow after Grant's Trail completes its cycle. Why can't left turn traffic turn at the same time as the trail traffic? There does not appear to be a conflict, and doing so would give WB Gravois traffic a longer green window. Thanks!

Thanks for hosting these weekly chats. I read them weekly and find them helpful!
There are two potholes in the right lane of southbound Skinker. One is at the stop line at Waterman and the other one at Pershing. The one at Pershing ocassionally has a cone it it. It's pretty deep. I have submitted a request to the Citizens Service Bureau about the pot holes about a month ago but I'm sure the street department has been busy with flood duty. -
The Street Department has indeed been heavily engaged in flood protection on a 24/7 basis, both along the Mississippi flood wall system as well as along River Des Peres. However, we will be scheduling pavement repairs with crews for items like you described in the weeks to come. Thank you for your patience! -
Northbound Lindbergh at Old St. Charles Road - I have reason to believe that the sensor on northbound Lindbergh for the left turn at Old St. Charles Road is malfunctioning. I have sat at that light for multiple cycles until finally deciding to run the red light to make the left turn from Lindbergh onto Old St. Charles Road. .

Coming out of the shopping plaza across from Manchester Meadows (where DSW Shoes and Dollar Tree are), turning left or right onto Manchester Road, the road is extremely uneven and rough. Is it the shopping plaza owners responsibility to maintain that or does another entity?
-
It depends where it is. If it is on Manchester (or just about 10 feet on either side), it might be MoDOT's to maintain. Otherwise, it is the plaza owner. I will ask our maintenance team to take a look to see where the issues are. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Jamie, if they are not already, would you please advise your signals people to observe south bound Lindbergh Blvd, North of 44, between 5-6 pm. I don't know what is causing it but huge backups past the Magic House in the Southbound lanes caused by the congestion, all the way past 44.

Yes, it does impact access from this portion of St. Charles Rock Road to I-70. You can get to I-70 from the portion of St. Charles Rock Road near the Walmart. It is an around the clock closure for 10 weeks. We shared it as a news release:
