Diggers, Diggers, Everywhere!


Yesterday, I surveyed the construction zone between Clayton/Warson Rd and Brentwood Blvd. I couldn't believe the amount of equipment doing work through out that 3 mile stretch of I-64.

Three weeks into the project and they have already torn down 3 overpasses, removed most if not all of the hillside for the fly-over ramp at I-170 and torn up nearly all of the old pavement that was I-64.

Further west, a half mile of highway was littered with rows of storm sewer pipe waiting to be installed. There is a lot of infrastructure work like this, that needs to be done before grading for the roadbed can even begin.

There is still over 11 months to go, but they seem to be off to a fast start. Let's hope the weather holds out this spring and summer so they can finish this portion of the highway rebuild early.
