Does anyone have any updates on this project? The last I read, it was supposed to be completed by June of this year.
For those not "in the know", the Avenue of the Saints is a project that's been in the works for some time. The goal is to connect St Louis with St Paul, MN with a four-lane, mostly limited-access highway. In Missouri, the route uses an upgraded US 61 and other existing roads, while additional segments in the northern counties had to be built in order to bypass towns.

Wikipedia also has a really good article on the project.
