Commission Approves Funding for Third Phase of Route 364

Project includes $50 million in funding from St. Charles County.

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved funding for the third phase of the Route 364 project in St. Charles County Thursday during its monthly meeting.

The commission approved $100 million for the roadway, between the existing work at Mid Rivers Mall drive and I-64/Route 40/61 as an amendment to 2012-2017 State Transportation Improvement Plan.

The approved funding includes $50 million contributed by St. Charles County for the project.

The roadway will be constructed using the design-build contracting process, similar to the I-64 project in St. Louis. Through this process, design and construction will be completed by the same contractor on an accelerated time frame. The award date for the design-build contract and the start of construction will be determined after the timeline for new I-64 bridge over the Missouri River (the Daniel Boone bridge project) is established.

The $100 million is to purchase right of way, relocate utilities, design and construct the project.

"Our goal for this project is similar to the I-64 project in St. Louis," said Ed Hassinger, MoDOT district engineer for St. Louis. "We want to construct as much roadway as we can with the available funding we have."

The exact design of the roadway, as well as roadway impacts during construction, will be determined as a part of the design-build contract.  MoDOT has defined a footprint for the project in the Environmental Impact Statement approved in 1992.
