Blasting in St. Peters may slow traffic
May 12, 2008
St. Peters
Blasting is expected along Highway 94 in St. Peters as part of the MoDOT Page Avenue project.
A contractor for the Missouri Department of Transportation plans to blast rock as part of the Page Avenue project along Highway 94 in the area between Jungermann Road and Harvester Road. Blasting is scheduled for Tuesday and Wednesday, May 13-14, weather depending.
Contractor Fred Weber Inc. has told the City of St. Peters that area businesses and homes may notice the blasts, which will be similar to thunder. Fred Weber is having a pre-blast survey done on area structures within 500 feet of the blasting, and could delay blasting if those surveys are not completed.
For safety’s sake, traffic will be delayed—either by being slowed or stopped—on Highway 94 in this area during the blasts. Each blast is expected to take just a few minutes. The rock that is being blast is on the side of Highway 94’s westbound lanes near Centre Point Drive, which also could experience traffic delays during blasts. For more information, please contact the Missouri Department of Transportation at 1-888-275-6636.
