Hampton interchange
moves up on list
State highway officials have added the reconstruction of the Hampton Avenue interchange to the first phase of rebuilding Highway 40 from Spoede Road to west of Sarah Street.
The first phase now has three projects. In addition to the Hampton interchange, the others are rebuilding the expressway's interchange at Interstate 170 and related interchanges at Hanley Road and Brentwood Boulevard; and the reconstruction of the interchange at Kingshighway and related work east of it.
All these projects could begin in 2007, Lesley Solinger Hoffarth, project manager, said last week. She discussed the highway plans at a work session of Clayton aldermen and in a later interview.
Solinger Hoffarth said the schedule and financing for the Highway 40 project would change somewhat as engineers worked out more details.
The project "is still a concept," she said. "There is a lot of design work to do."
The state has amassed $309 million for the work:
$44 million in state and federal highway funds for the Kingshighway interchange.
$265 million in state money for interchanges at Hampton and the I-170 area from the money officials expect to obtain from a shift of about $187 million a year in motor vehicle and gas taxes to highways and bridges by 2009.
At Hampton Avenue, the state would build a single-point interchange with Hampton on top of the highway, as it is now. North of Highway 40, a roundabout would handle turns from various drives in Forest Park. A multipurpose path would go under the roadway. Hampton and Oakland Avenue would remain an intersection.
