Material delays postpone completion of Route 340 widening project

ST. LOUIS – Delays in getting necessary signal equipment has postponed the completion of a project to add left turn lanes on Route 340 (Olive Boulevard) between Spoede and Old Olive.

The project, started earlier this year, will widen the road between Spoede and Old Olive to lengthen the signalized left turn lanes. The manufacturer has delayed the delivery of the signal posts and the signals, which will postpone the original December 1 completion date.

At this time, the material is scheduled to arrive in mid-December, and weather depending, could be installed by the beginning of 2022.

MoDOT will open as much of the newly constructed roadway as possible that can be safely controlled with the existing equipment. The remainder will open when the new equipment arrives and is installed.
