Beginning in April 2020, MoDOT will begin work on the 1-270 Corridor project that spans Interstate 270 from James S. McDonnell Boulevard to Bellefontaine Road. The project will include reconstruction of several major interchanges (North Lindbergh, Hanley/Graham, Washington Elizabeth, West Florissant, etc.), adding an additional driving lane on 270 in both directions, signal updates and replacements, new bridges, and more. For more information on the project, including project schedule and detour routes, visit the I-270 North project website.
The City has received federal funding for the reconstruction of Phantom Drive between Missouri Bottom Road and James S. McDonnell Boulevard. The reconstruction project will reduce the number of lanes from 4 narrow lanes to 2 wide lanes, and will also install left turn bays at intersections and a 6’ sidewalk along one side of the road. Construction is set to begin in 2022 with engineering and design starting later this year. Questions about the project can be directed to Nikki Miller, Project Development Coordinator, at mmmiller@hazelwoodmo.org.
