at the Hanley and Eager</a> intersection as part of the I-64 reconstruction
contract.&nbsp; St. Louis County will pay Gateway Constructors $4.6 million
to complete the work with the I-64 contract keeping the original
completion milestone for I-64 to open all lanes by Dec. 31, 2009.&nbsp;
Construction will begin on the I-64/Hanley interchange and Hanley and
Eager intersection when the west half of I-64 reopens in late 2008 or
no later than Jan. 2, 2009.<br /><br />\"In order for us to complete the additional work and keep our schedule,
Hanley Road over I-64 will be closed for up to eight months,\" said
MoDOT District Engineer Ed Hassinger.&nbsp; \"The keys to getting around will
include the opening of&nbsp;I-64 from I-170 west including Brentwood and the
reopening of access from Eager to northbound I-170.&nbsp; All of these items
will be complete before we close Hanley.&nbsp; We will also connect two
lanes in each direction on Hanley directly to Eager Road so traffic can
flow from Hanley to Eager to the I-170 ramps.\"<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;
MoDOT\'s original design for the Hanley and Eager intersection would
have restricted the traffic to just a right turn in and right turn out
of Eager at Hanley.&nbsp; The additional improvements will enable traffic on
Hanley and Eager to travel in either direction through the
intersection, with reduced congestion.<br /><br />&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; \"The Hanley and
Eager intersection is notorious for terrible traffic and this project
will provide a great improvement to the traffic flow when complete,\"
said St. Louis County Executive Charlie Dooley.&nbsp; \"Doing the work now
reduces the disruptions to motorists if we had to do this work after
I-64 was complete and costs less than half of what it could cost to do
it later.&nbsp; The County will work with MoDOT to spread the word that
Mid-County is still open for business and there are many ways to get
around.\"</p>
