Districts Impacted
A project to update sidewalks and signals on Route 21 in St. Louis County and update various bridges in Jefferson County.
Project Milestones
MoDOT creates initial plans for the project.
MoDOT held a public meeting on June 14, 2022, to discuss the conceptual plans with the public and determine if there were necessary adjustments or additional updates.
The team starts work to determine and obtain the necessary easements or right of way to complete the process.
Pavement resurfacing and guardrail upgrades began Summer 2023.
What is the current situation?
The Missouri Department of Transportation is rehabilitating or repaving the decks on 17 bridges on Route 21 in Jefferson County between Schenk Road near Otto and the Meramec River northwest of Arnold.
Which bridges in Jefferson County will be worked on?
This work includes rehabilitating or redecking 17 bridges along Route 21 in Jefferson County between the Meramec River northwest of Arnold and Schenk Road near Otto. Bridges include two areas where northbound and southbound Route 21 cross Old Route 21, the northbound and southbound Route 21 bridges over Heads Creek Road, Rock Creek, Lonedell Road and relocated Route M, a bridge over a ramp to Route 21, as well as the bridges over the route at Four Ridge Road, Old Route 21 in two locations and Rock Creek Road. Work also includes guardrail updates on and near the bridges. Additional specifics on the work on those bridges are still being determined at this time, although current expectations are that one half of each bridge will be closed at a time. That will require one lane to be closed in each direction and traffic to be shifted into the remaining lanes.
