MoDOT to Split Mid Rivers Mall Traffic at Route 94 on Aug. 12

Road work continues on Route 94 as part of the Route 364 project. 

The project to extend Route 364 from west of Central School Road to Mid Rivers Mall Drive is expected to be finished in 2012. On Friday, Aug. 12, another phase of the project begins. 

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and its contractor, Fred Weber, Inc., will split traffic lanes on Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The planned shift will occur between the morning and evening rush as long as Mother Nature plays nice. 

Once the shift is complete, traffic on eastbound and westbound Route 94 heading to northbound Mid Rivers Mall Drive will have to use a temporary signal and the north outer road to get the Mid Rivers Mall Drive. The new temporary signal is just east of the new Mid Rivers Mall Drive bridge. 

Access between southbound Mid Rivers Mall Drive and Route 94 is not changed at this time.

Drivers on on Pitman Hill will need to use the south outer road, cross Route 94 at the temporary signal to the north outer road and follow the north outer road to Mid Rivers Mall Drive.

During this traffic shift, the first signals north of Route 94 (near Mobil and the McDonalds) will only allow drivers to turn right into the businesses or right out of the entrance during this shift.  Drivers can use next signal (by Home Depot and St. Louis Bread Company) to make all turns onto Mid Rivers Mall Drive.

The shift isn't the last change on the road. MoDOT said drivers can expect further changes on Mid Rivers Mall Drive in about two weeks.
