MoDOT Construction to Realign I-70 at Wentzville Parkway

Crews with the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville Project will begin construction of drainage structures and temporary pavement in the median of both directions of Interstate 70 between Wentzville Parkway and the Norfolk Southern Railroad bridge starting overnight Monday, March 30. All work is weather permitting.   

Work will run from 9 p.m. to 5:30 a.m. each night. A temporary barrier wall will be in place along the right and left shoulders of eastbound I-70 beginning March 30. Westbound I-70 will have a temporary barrier wall along the left shoulder starting the week of April 6. Lanes in both directions will be reduced to 11-foot width. During overnight hours, there will be left lane closures in both directions.    

This work is part of the reconstruction of Interstate 70 with adding a third lane in each direction and the realignment of I-70 between Wentzville Parkway and Route Z.

Road Closure – Linn Avenue at East Pearce Boulevard

Beginning Wednesday, Feb. 11, Linn Avenue just south of East Pearce Boulevard will be closed to accommodate the next phase of the traffic signal installation. Southbound traffic will be detoured to West Allen Street and northbound traffic will be detoured to East Allen Street and then to McRoberts Street. The center lane of Pearce Boulevard will remain closed during this phase. A map of the detour can be viewed here.

Schroeder Creek Water Main Project

The City is currently working to replace and upgrade the water main along Schroeder Creek Boulevard. This important project is a step toward improving water service to residents south of Interstate 70. Please be aware that the southbound lane of Schroeder Creek Boulevard, between William Dierberg Drive and West Pearce Boulevard, will be closed during construction hours, typically from 7:30 a.m. to 3 p.m. Northbound access will remain open. Detours are established for each closure, and coordination with the Wentzville School District is ongoing to avoid issues with school traffic.

Traffic attempting to travel south on Schroeder Creek Boulevard will be rerouted north on Schroeder Creek Boulevard, then east on Wentzville Parkway, south on Meyer Road and finally west on West Pearce Boulevard. A map of the detour can be viewed here.

The project will move forward in phases, with intermittent closures required as construction activity continues and as weather dictates. Weather permitting, this project is expected to be complete by early March. Thank you for your patience as we work to improve the City’s infrastructure.
