ST. LOUIS – Drivers who use Route P (Mackenzie Road) between Gravois (Route 30) and Watson (Route 366) in St. Louis county can expect higher levels of congestion as crews start work on construction along the corridor next week.
Starting the week of March 13, residents can expect lane closures between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. weekdays along the corridor as part of the on-going construction. Crews will start work on the southbound side of Route P near Heege Road.
The project is to resurface Route P between Gravois (Route 30) and Watson Road (Route 366) in 2022. As a part of the project, the department is also making updates to the roadway’s pedestrian facilities. The current raised shoulder originally intended for pedestrian use will be removed and replaced with proper sidewalks making them compliant with Americans with Disabilities Act requirements. In addition, the department is looking at adding new crosswalks, removing another and constructing several updated pedestrian signals along the corridor.
The project was awarded to Pace Construction for roughly $7.2 million and is expected to continue through late fall 2023.
