MoDOT hopes to open the bridge in Mid-August, three months ahead of the original schedule.
The Blanchette Bridge project is progressing ahead of schedule. On Friday morning Missouri Department of Transportation District Engineer Ed Hassinger and St. Charles Mayor Sally Faith said Friday morning that the project could be finished three months ahead of schedule. When the westbound bridge was closed November 2, 2012, plans called for the shutdown to last for a maximum of one year. However Hassinger said MoDOT is pushing to open the bridge annual Festival of the Little Hills in mid-August. If MoDOT hits that goal, the project would be done three months ahead of the original schedule.

According to the Missouri Department of Transportation, most drivers have adapted to the lane closures five months into the year-long project, but speeding is an issue.
Most commuters are used to the lane closures on the Blanchette Bridge five months into the year-long reconstruction project. But the recent activity from construction crews putting up the new steel truss has led to some rear-end accidents in the area, said Linda Horn Wilson, spokesperson for the Missouri Department of Transportation. "Most of the crashes we're having are rear-end crashes," Horn Wilson said. "Some of it is people driving too fast, crashing into the car in front of them. The other issue is, since steel is going up, people are looking and are hitting the car that's slowed or stopped in front of them." Horn Wilson said MoDOT works with the MoDOT to see if there's a common place or time for accidents, but said the main factor…
