What is the status of the construction at Olive Blvd and Lindbergh? When is the project due to be complete?

by Olive Blvd 4/27/2022 6:03:33 PM
That is a permit project that had to go back for some redesign work, and is working through the process to complete construction. The latest we heard was that it may be about July before it is complete. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

The stoplight at the 14th St Eastbound exit of 64/40 has been broken for several weeks. Is there a timeline for this fix?

by Tanner 4/27/2022 6:07:52 PM
Due to the nature of the repair, we had to meet with Ameren on-site to get into one of the utility vaults to start the repair work. We are hoping to be able to get finished with that later this week or early next week. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Two weeks ago I made a comment about bad potholes in the rightmost lane on WB I-44 at the Broadway bridge construction site. As of last week they were still there (sorry, I'm only going into the office once a week). Any updates on when this will be fixed?

Thanks -- I'll pass it back on to our construction team overseeing the work on the project. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

2 questions:
1) we & many commuters use S Jefferson between Chouteau & Lafayette to access I 44… and it is full of large, unavoidable, potholes. Is some sort of repair planned soon for this stretch of road?
2). We frequently walk between Chouteau and Market…to the PO etc, and find the blockage on 18th St. In front of Ameren makes this difficult. We have also noticed that it creates a blockage for drivers exiting the city going S on Truman Parkway. When will that blocked lane be reopened?

Thank you for your concerns. (1) Street Maintenance crews are in the process of repairing potholes on Jefferson from St Louis Ave to Gravois. Paving is scheduled for Jefferson from Chouteau to Gravois in near future. (2) I'll reach out to Ameren to receive an update timeline for completion of project...Larry Tyler / Street & Traffic Liaison

The pavement on Route 100 / Manchester Road is in pretty rough shape between Barrett Station and Wideman. Is that on the list for resurfacing any time soon?

by Vroom 4/27/2022 6:22:11 PM
Right now, we have a project scheduled for that area in 2023. We'll have to do some sidewalk updates along the corridor first, so I wouldn't expect resurfacing until maybe early 2025. If you have specific areas where there are potholes, or very rough pavement, you can share them with our customer service team 24/7 at (314) 275-1500 or 1-888-ASK-MODOT, and our maintenance team can take a look and see what may be able to be done.

The signals at Compton at gravois seem to skip a complete cycle for the north and soundbound lanes. Notice this much more since faster route either the 55 construction.

What days and time(s) are you seeing this concern? Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

by Andrew Gates, MoDOT 4/27/2022 6:32:27 PM
Later afternoons 5-6ish have turned to CSB. No followup

by S city 4/27/2022 6:38:02 PM
Thanks for the additional details -- I'll check with the construction team over I-t55 to see if they are monitoring these signals as part of that project. If not, we'll pass it to our traffic experts to check out. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Does the City have any plans on fixing up/repaving the entirety of river des peres blvd?

by Patrick 4/27/2022 6:48:20 PM
Thank you for your concerns. This project is under consideration along with sections of Germania. Will update upon approval...Larry Tyler / Street & Traffic Liaison
