Improvements on West Highway 50 Begin Monday, May 23, 2016

During construction, each listed intersection and one eastbound lane adjacent to each intersection will be closed. In addition, one west bound lane will be closed from the entrance of Sam’s Club to the eastern entrance of Wal-Mart.

“We kindly ask our residents to be patient and considerate during this needed improvement project,” said Mayor Gary L. Graham. “Once completed, this project will vastly relieve traffic congestion in this important O’Fallon area.”

Detour routes are as follows:  Castle Acres can be accessed using the entrance on St. Ellen Mine Street, Dean Avenue can be accessed from Alice Avenue, and Long Drive can be accessed from Hartman Lane and Atlantic Drive.

Current updates for this, and other construction projects can be found on the City’s website at www.ofallon.org under Quick Links, Construction Updates.
