Expect Traffic Delays For Clayton Road Project Work

Residents will likely see more crews and traffic restrictions on a daily basis as work on the Clayton Road project continues.

Work has been moving forward on the Clayton Road Resurfacing and Pedestrian Enhancement Project since the year began and more work is underway between Oaks Springs Lane to Bopp Lane which is phase two of the project.

As previously reported by Patch, phase one of the project is complete.

Ground was broken in September and construction began in October beginning the three-phase project to repave Clayton Road from Hwy 141 to the city limits near Bopp Road.  

The project also includes creating a multi-use pedestrian trail on the north side of Clayton Road and installing a pedestrian walkway on the existing bridge over Hwy 141 which will connect the sidewalk on the north side of Clayton Road at Old Woods Mill Road to the intersection at Clayton Road and Woods Mill Road.

Town and Country Department of Public Works Director Craig Wilde released the following details as part of an email update on the project this week.

Phase II – Oaks Springs Lane to Bopp Lane

Over the past couple of weeks, we have really made some strides in working through our utility relocations and conflicts.  Ameren UE is almost complete on the site. MO-American Water continues to plug along and Charter Communications has been putting the necessary things in place to complete their relocations.  The bulk of the vegetation removal is complete and Gershenson Construction has started with much of the storm sewer work. For now, things will appear very rough and disheveled.  Just keep in mind that there is a method to the madness.  Starting from the ground (or in this case under the ground) and working our way up can be unsightly but is very necessary.      

Phase III – Crossing of HWY 141

Marschuetz Construction has been busy bringing the numerous moving parts of the project together.  The list of items which require additional review and approval prior to delivery is extensive.  Although the project limits are relatively finite, the number of moving parts related to the modifications to the bridge deck over HWY 141 and the signals at Woods Mill Road are complex. 

Some of the information on our project web page has been updated.  Specifically, the plan sheets and landscaping plans have been posted. You can view this information here.

When completed, the trail will run the length of the city, from Town and Country Crossing in the west to the city’s eastern edge at Bopp Road.

The City of Town and Country has also created a Facebook page to update residents regularly on Clayton Road and trail construction.

In addition to daily Facebook updates, Wilde is sending out updates that Town and Country-Manchester Patch is posting for readers.

For more information, go to the city's website page dedicated to the project.

Residents can also email Public Works Director Craig Wilde if they would like to receive email updates or have questions. Wilde can also be contacted by phone at 314-587-2824.
