The Missouri Department of Transportation is proposing a revamp of South Lindbergh Boulevard and is holding a virtual public hearing on the plan this week. MoDOT says it will resurface Lindbergh Boulevard between Big Bend in Kirkwood and Barracksview near the South County Center mall, running through Sunset Hills, Sappington, Concord and Green Park into Oakville. The project is slated to start in spring 2022 and run through late 2023. The virtual public hearing will be held from 4 to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Feb. 10. For more information, see the state agency’s website on the project at https://www.modot.org/lind bvw bb vpm. The link to join the open house is also available at that site. ....
Drivers who use the Big Bend bridge over Interstate 44 in Oakland will have to find an alternative route starting in the spring next year, when the Missouri Department of Transportation is slated to replace the bridge. While the bridge is technically in Oakland, it is close to Crestwood city limits and the closest interstate exit is to Crestwood. The bridge was built in 1967 and requires constant maintenance, MoDOT engineers said at a virtual town hall on the project last Tuesday. Because maintenance is so routine, it would be cheaper in the long run to replace the bridge all together. According to the timeline provided by MoDOT, project bids would go out this fall, with construction anticipated to begin in spring 2022. Big Bend itself will be closed approximately four months and I-44 will be closed at least one weekend to demolish the bridge. During the project, I-44 will be reduced to three lanes for about 60 days. ....
