Clocks are ticking
St. Louis Post-Dispatch
Crews today installed new clocks on the New I-64 countdown signs. They’re counting down the months and days left until the end of construction, starting at 20 months, 28 days. In the fall, the three signs were set up to count down the days, hours, minutes and even seconds until the completion of the Highway 40 (Interstate 64) project. The Missouri Department of Transportation turned off the signs just a few days later. The jumble of numbers as they were displayed confused too many passing motorists.
The countdown signs are on westbound Highway 40 near Kingshighway, southbound Interstate 170, and eastbound Highway 40 near Interstate 270. Gateway Constructors, the team of contractors rebuilding the interstate, paid for the signs.

And who pays for these sign? they are not cheap…I love how certain agaencies feel free to spend our tax money without any insight to what people may or may not want.For those who do not travel Hwy 40 or never did, this is a waste of money anyway you look at it.
