After almost two years, RT. 29 through Creve Coeur is open to four lanes! Barricades came down yesterday, apparently. This was a multi-phase construction project. Started with moving back all the power poles a few feet; then digging out the old storm sewer pipes and replacing them with probably units with more capacity. Then they added sidewalks on both sides of the highway with nice looking red trim on both sides of sidewalk; finally they resurfaced the road from just south of Thornton gas station to close to LaGondola to the north. The resurfacing took the least amount of time to complete.

Seriously? Just now? I rarely get that way so had no clue it was still going on. WTF? When I go to Pekin I head through Bartonville to the Pekin bridge. It just seems faster than going through all the lights in downtown EP, Creve Couer and where the I-474 exit is.

That's cool, but obviously since I live in MH,and work and sometimes shop in EP, RT 29 is my best bet.

Nice. That has been a mess!
