The City of Wentzville will hold an open-house public meeting on Feb. 2, 2023, to discuss the Peine Road Safety Improvements Project. This proposed project will resurface the existing Peine Road approximately between Stewart Springs Drive and Forest Way, add shoulders, and soften and realign a 90-degree curve between Peine Woods Drive and Stewart Springs Drive. This project will look to address safety conditions in advance of the increased traffic volume anticipated with a completed Peine/Hwy P Interchange as well as ongoing development along the Peine Road corridor. Construction of this project is tentatively scheduled to begin in 2024.
The public open house is scheduled for Thursday, February 2, 2023, from 4:30 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. at the Wentzville City Hall Board Chambers, 1001 Schroeder Creek Blvd, Wentzville, MO.

Phase 2:
The Wentzville Parkway South Phase 2 improvement project will build upon the Wentzville Parkway South Phase 1 project by extending Wentzville Parkway South to Interstate Drive. The proposed cross-section will include a two-lane cross-section with curb and gutter and curb inlets along the east side of the roadway and an improved shoulder on the west side that will drain to an open ditch system. The cross-section will allow for future expansion to a five-lane cross-section when traffic demands call for it. The proposed project also proposes to build a 6-foot sidewalk along the east side of the roadway that will connect to the recently constructed Interstate Drive Trail. Also proposed as part of this project is the construction of a grade-separated crossing at the Norfolk Southern Railway.
May 2019: A notice to Proceed was issued to the design consultant.

Supplemental Corridor Study
Description: A consultant is providing additional analysis to supplement the Wentzville Parkway South Extension Corridor Study completed in early 2013. A corridor alignment that is supported by the local governments and citizens is essential for the corridor preservation process. The intent of the study is to engage the public in developing solutions and to accurately define future construction costs of the project and preserve land prior to future development.
The City of Wentzville in cooperation with the County of St. Charles have coordinated to supplement the initial Study to consider an at grade railroad crossing, improvements to the Wentzville Parkway Interchange, traffic signal optimization and traffic flow improvements from Veterans Memorial Parkway to the traffic signal in front of Home Depot. In summary, the objectives of the Supplemental Study are to establish a feasible, cost effective and locally supported interchange with Interstate 70, determine the feasibility and cost of an at grade crossing for the Norfolk Southern Railroad, and recommend traffic flow improvements of the section of Wentzville Parkway immediately north of the Interstate 70 interchange.
David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2D will be a north-south roadway of approximately 5,500 linear feet along an existing 100-foot wide City of Wentzville right-of-way corridor. Once completed, this roadway will help alleviate congestion and convey motorists to and from Interstate 70 to West Meyer Road. This project will complete the final segment of David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2.

Phase 2D of David Hoekel Parkway (DHP) includes roadway improvements along the planned DHP corridor between Goodfellow Road and West Meyer Road. This phase of the project will build upon previous phases of DHP by connecting West Meyer Road to the I-70 interchange at DHP and to the south side of the interstate. The proposed project will construct two lanes of DHP on the eastern side of the corridor, one northbound lane and one southbound lane. The ultimate DHP build-out will consist of a four-lane divided roadway. The timeline for the final corridor buildout is currently undetermined and will be based on future traffic demands. The current phase of this project also includes a sidewalk, which will connect pedestrians to the trail that was recently constructed with the West Meyer Road improvements and to the sidewalk being constructed with the David Hoekel Parkway bridge over I-70.

When available, please see the underlined dates for additional project details.
August 2024: Construction is ongoing. Pavement is being installed from Bear Creek Drive to West Pearce Blvd. Crews are working on installing street lighting from West Meyer Road to Bear Creek.
Tentative Completion Late 2024.
2023:
Grading and Construction of Drainage Facilities
2022:
Easement & Right of Way Acquisition
2020-2021:
The City entered into a funding agreement with St. Charles County for the final design and construction of Phase 2D of David Hoekel Parkway. The City retained the services of a design firm to prepare plans and specifications for this project. The noise study has been re-evaluated with the preparation of plans for construction.
2018:
The City retained the services of a design firm to evaluate this David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2D corridor and provide the City with conceptual plans, cost estimates, traffic circulation reports and a sound wall analysis. During this Phase 2D corridor evaluation, the City evaluated whether the previously recommended four-lane median-divided configuration identified within the David Hoekel Parkway Environmental Assessment that was completed in November of 2014 was still valid for initial construction or if a reduced two-lane cross-section might instead be adequate to serve the anticipated future traffic volumes. The report confirmed that David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2D’s ultimate cross-section shall provide a four-lane median divided cross-section as previously recommended by the David Hoekel Parkway Environmental Assessment but current and near-future traffic volumes only require a two-lane cross-section to be built at this time. As a continuation of the current David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2C project (Interstate 70 north to Goodfellow Road), the traffic circulation report also confirmed that building the eastern half of the ultimate roadway cross-section (the northbound lanes) with northbound and southbound left-turn lanes at both Bear Creek Drive and Kruger Park Court intersections was recommended until traffic volumes require the additional two lanes (the southbound lanes) to be constructed.
2014:
The U.S. Department of Transportation (Federal Highway Administration) approved the City’s proposal to design and construct a new interchange along the I-70 corridor as part of the David Hoekel Parkway designated as Phase 2A, B, & C. The interchange project is expected to be completed Summer of 2021. Phase 2A, B, & C included the interchange at Interstate 70 and a realigned North Outer Road as well as the intersection of David Hoekel Parkway and Goodfellow Road/North Outer Road. The David Hoekel Parkway Phase 2D project will begin at this intersection and proceed north to tie in with West Meyer Road.
2009-2014:
The City submitted a draft Environmental Assessment to the U.S. Department of Transportation Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). This document considered and evaluated project alternates and environmental consequences for impacts to land use, water quality, cultural resources, threatened and endangered species, air quality, noise and construction impacts among other factors. The FHWA issued approval of the Environmental Assessment and issued a Finding of No Significant Impact.
2003:
The Corridor Preservation Study allowed the City to coordinate with proposed and planned development to preserve the Right of Way.
2001:
The City studied a corridor (several alignments) and involved the public for comment which identified this corridor called the “I-70/US 61 Beltway Corridor Preservation Study.”
1999:
The City first adopted a Comprehensive Plan identifying the need for a new roadway.
