St. Louis County and MoDot have plans to spend $170 million of our local and federal taxes to build a 6-lane elevated highway from Highway 40/I-64 (St. Luke’s Hospital) north to the Maryland Heights Expressway.

The County and MoDOT insist this highway is essential to relieve congestion. The truth of the matter is that developers and officials want to take this $170 million road and win tax-incentive-financing to “develop” the floodplains in the Howard Bend area.
