1.) With the increased traffic on the Daniel Boone Bridge due to lane closures on the Blanchette, why did they decide to do blasting now? It doesn't make sense to have closures on one of the alternate routes. Drivers in the Lake St. Louis/Wentzville area do not have easy access to the Page extension. 2.) How much extra time should we plan in our commutes due to blasting?   more ›

That's a great idea. And while we're at it, let's ticket trash trucks, highway department vehicles, utility trucks, school buses and any other vehicle that doesn't drive close to the maximum speed. Sorry, Patrick, the only place there is a minimum speed is on interstate highways. Bicycles are legitimate users of the road, and apologies to you on behalf of all cyclists for the extra 15 seconds …   more ›

I assume you are referring to 141 in Valley Park just north of I-44. That is the only spot where 141 crosses the Meramec River. We do have future plans to rebuild the 141 and I-44 interchange so it can be considered with those designs.   more ›

Would MoDOT PLEASE considfer adding a larger shoulder or sidewalk from the entrance of the Marisol subdivision (located on W) to the intersection of W and 109. It would be less than a 1/2 mile stretch. My concern is for the residents of Marisol who jog or ride a bike from the subdivison into the town of Eureka where they are able to access a trail. W is such a dangerous road to begin with, plus …   more ›

MoDOT Ready For Rush Hour, More Concerned About Tuesday

MoDOT is now more concerned with Tuesday morning's rush hour than Monday evening, but crews are on the roads and ready.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued a winter weather advisory for the St. Louis area that remais in effect until midnight. Meteorologists are forecasting accumulations between 2 and 4 inches for the metro area. According to the NWS, the latest indications are that the heaviest snowfall will occur during the late afternoon and evening hours. Snow with some sleet accumulation is possible, with the storm expected to end late Monday. However, Kara Price, a spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT), tells Patch that crews are now expecting the winter storm to run through Tuesday morning's rush hour. They have been pretreating the roads since Saturday night in anticipation of the storm, and they are ready for …

MoDOT says all crews are on hand for the freezing rain and snow that may fall across the St. Louis area. How are the roads? Tell us what you think in the comments box at the bottom of this article.

The Missouri Department of Transportation tells Patch its crews have been pretreating roads in preparation for the wintry mix predicted to hit St. Louis and surrounding areas Wednesday. "They are putting down salt as needed. We have been pre-treating so we were ready for the morning rush hour. Now our game plan is to be prepared for the evening rush hour in case it goes into that," MoDOT Spokesperson Kara Price tells Patch. "Our crews came in about four this morning to make sure we were on top of this storm." According to the National Weather Service, light snow, sleet and rain isforecasted for the area. KMOV is reporting Wednesday's weather and freezing temperatures may cause a potentially dangerous situation and icy roads. What is …

It's truly a waste of time and expense if you pre-treat roads with any de-icing treatment when we're having temperatures in the 40's followed by rain. This simply causes all of the aforementioned treatment to be washed down storm drains which run into the nearest natural water creek which eventually ends up in the nearest natural river. This, in turn, contaminates these natural water flows; ergo…   more ›
