Last week, we got a question about utility work along Lindbergh between Conway and Olive. Right now, the permit for Ameren for that work goes through the end of April. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

What is the rest of the timeline this spring for finishing the work at 44 and Jefferson?

They should start the resurfacing on I-44 and under Jefferson next week, and weather permitting it should be completed by early to mid-May. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communictions

When will the graffiti at 44 & Jefferson be cleaned up?

by GregL 4/7/2021 3:46:14 PM
Crews should have already started the process. We are working to implement a couple other updates to the project to made it easier to address similar issues in the future. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

NB I-170 to EB Delmar, there is both a "Yield" sign and a traffic signal (on the north/far side of Delmar) at the top of the ramp. Which traffic control device takes priority/controls?

by Jimmy Z 4/7/2021 5:21:30 PM
Depends on which movement you are making, Since the yield sign is on the leg that turns right, if you are making a right turn, yield to oncoming traffic (including pedestrians) -- as they could be crossing the roadway on a signal. If you are turning left or going straight, use the signal. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

Thanks (it's for the right turn only lane)

Maintenance request - where WB Greenwood Blvd merges onto WB Big Bend, in Maplewood, there's a traffic signal with polarized lenses. The signals for Greenwood are pretty filthy and are getting harder to see, each month. Thanks!

I'll forward your report to our signals group. Thank you for sharing the info. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation

This question is for all, but are there any ordinances regarding air pollution on construction sites? The reason that I ask is that I often see construction vehicles and dump trucks idling or even with engines running unattended. Other than indifference on the part of the workers is there any reason for this? Besides the tremendous amounts of air pollution and noise that this puts out unnecessarily it is also a waste of resources and I would imagine that the fuel costs (which are wasted) are factored into the budget and thus a waste of taxpayer resources. If there are ordinances governing this in the City, County or State-funded projects to whom would one report violations?

I'll check with our Construction group for insight into this subject, and will post an answer to your queries in next week's chat. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation

On northbound 141 there is a dip in the pavement at the end of the Ladue Road in ramp. Any plans to fix it?

I've reached out to our maintenance team for that area. They'll take a look and schedule it for repairs , if needed. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

There are several chat comments regarding pothole locations - I will make sure they are on the list, if not already, for patching - thanks!
