U.S. 61 West Outer Road Extension Phases 2 and 3

This project will provide a new outer road system that would link the new interchange at Route 61/Peine Road/Highway P to Wentzville Parkway. The first portion of the outer road has been constructed from Peine Loop Road to Jockeys Run. This project will continue the 2-lane outer road from Jockeys Run to Wentzville Parkway, along with providing dedicated left-turn lanes at key locations. Once this connection is completed, it is anticipated that the access openings will then be eliminated on Southbound Route 61. Elimination of these access openings is a major step toward the reduction of accidents and congestion on Route 61. The project also includes a roundabout at Great Oaks Boulevard. To accommodate bicyclists and pedestrians, a 10-foot-wide multi-use path will be constructed on the west side of the outer road, connecting to the existing multi-use path on Wentzville Parkway. New sidewalk connections at the roundabout will be provided to connect the multi-use path to the existing sidewalk along Great Oaks Boulevard.
