ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH

Brian: When traveling on I-64/40 east to I-170 North via the flyover ramp, you can see that there is some crumbling concrete on the south side of the I-170 South to I-64/40 West flyover ramp. Can you please have somebody check this out? I would hate for this to become a big problem in the future. It is at the peak of the mound of dirt that lies against the I-170 South to I-64 west bridge.

Linda Wilson: It is actually fill material and not crumbling concrete, although it does look like that when you drive past. You will notice there is a retaining wall on either side and in the middle there is a small amount of dirt. The retaining wall has a nice edge to it and the dirt does not, so it makes it look very undone. The bridge is completely fine, and there is not crumbling concrete. It just looks unfinished. We are working with the contractor to make this look a little nicer.

Frank: Has a speed limit been decided upon for the collectors between Brentwood and Hanley? Please tell me it will 40-plus.

Linda Wilson: The connector roads between Brentwood and Hanley will be signed at 40 mph.




gregl: I realize it's not part of the main project, but I'm wondering when the work between Kingshighway and Boyle will wrap up? I don't know about the off-ramp to Vandeventer or the on-ramp from Papin, but the rest of the roadway looks like it's just waiting to be striped before it can reopen.

Linda Wilson: The work east of Kingshighway is being done under a separate contract from the larger I-64 work. The contractor is ahead of schedule, and the work should be finished in mid-October.
