Was a change made to the signal at Germania and Sharp Avenues? The signal now regularly cycles versus change when a vehicle approaches from Sharp. The camera that used to face Sharp appears gone.

Traffic lights at Lindbergh/Conway and now Lindbergh/Chaminade need adjusting. Keep changing at 5:30am with no traffic

I believe we are still waiting on a part for the signal at Lindbergh and Conway. I'll pass along the Lindbergh and Chaminade concern. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

We anticipate putting this project out for bid this fall (autumn of '22), with construction starting very late in the year or in early '23. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation

The road construction on I-270 between Lindbergh and Riverview has made seeing the lane lines very difficult during rain and darkness. Part of the problem is the old striping shows through even though it's been ground off or painted over. That reflection from vehicle lights along with the temporary striping makes driving very difficult. Is it possible to put down reflectors to eliminate this problem?

by BDW 3/30/2022 6:41:04 PM
I have shared your concerns about striping with the team overseeing the project, but temporary reflectors don't tend to last long, as traffic drives over them and breaks them off. Since the changes on the project are relatively short term, it isn't cost effective to grind in in-laid pavement markers in for the short time they would be used. If you have specific locations where the stripes are hard to see, please feel free to let our customer service know at (314) 275-1500, and they can share it with the team. As I understand, the roadway will be resurfaced after the I-270 North project is complete. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Lindbergh SB between Clayton and Manchester has two old utility patches (asphalt, approx. 8' by 15') that are coming apart. Both are in the left lane, one in front of Flemings and the other near Squires Lane. Also, they tried to add asphalt to the new utility patch in the right lane at Litzsinger and it didn't last for a day. I know the utility is responsible for replacing the pavement where they do work, but is there anything that MODOT or St. Louis County can do to fix these spots or make the utility do them correctly?

by Scott 3/30/2022 6:45:40 PM
You are correct. The utility company is responsible for bringing the pavement back to the original condition when they are finished. I have passed this along to our maintenance team to check out and see if they need to reach out to the utility company for a better patch. We do have a resurfacing project for that roadway that starts in about a year, so until then, our crews will work with the utility companies update those patches. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
