Thank for sharing your thoughts. We do try to avoid having too much construction on one major road, such as Jefferson, but sometimes we do have to do so for short periods of time. We should have the work on I-44 mostly completed later this year, while the work on I-64 will continue into next year. Andrew Gates MoDOT Communications
The girders went in Monday. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
When the entire project is complete, we will have to put a new layer of asphalt on the roadway to cover up all the removed stripes). That work will get done then (no sense in doing it twice). That should happen either very late this year or next spring (depending on weather). Andrew Gates, MoDOT Comunications
In last week's chat, a motorist asked about our plans for Bayless Road, between Union and Lemay Ferry. We have a major improvement project scheduled to begin in 2022 for this section of Bayless. In addition to resurfacing the road, improvements will include replacement of deficient sidewalks and curbs, construction of wheelchair-accessible ramps and the removal and replacement of the bridge over Gravois Creek roughly 160 yards east of I-55. The bridge replacement will be performed first, and will be done in "halves" so that we can maintain traffic flow on the road. We anticipate that work will be complete on the entire project in 2023.

I'll forward this to our Operations group for investigation and appropriate action. Thank you for your report. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
I'll share this with our signs personnel for investigation. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
We will check the vehicle & pedestrian detection at Scott for the conditions described
No, it's telling you that the roadway is fairly clear -- that traffic is getting through the next four miles at around three minutes. The system does round, so it could technically be about 3:30. I will ask the construction team to review the message. The reported time should be no faster than the speed limit. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I'll pass it along to our maintenance team. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I'll have to check on the status of the water company's project, but once work of this nature has been completed, the utility is required to restore all disrupted pavement to its pre-project condition. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
Traffic often does travel at nearly 70 mph on Interstates in the urban areas. I will ask the construction team to review the sign. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I'll have our Operations group look into this issue. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
I've asked our maintenance team to check it out. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
I'm checking with our highway planning group engineers to see if we have an improvement project in the works for Eddie and Park. I'll post their reply in next week's chat. David Wrone, St. Louis County's Department of Transportation
Not yet -- I've asked our maintenance team to check it our. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
