According to West News Magazine, researchers are "baffled" by air quality results from an experimental section of Route 141.
According to an article in West News Magazine, researchers with Iowa State University’s National Concrete Pavement Technology Center (NCPTC) are "baffled" by air quality results from the new southbound Route 141. The article explains that a 1,500-foot stretch of the road, south of Olive Boulevard, is actually an experiment. It was reportedly topped with a 2-inch layer of concrete mixed with titanium dioxide which would ultimately improve air quality in that area. West News stated that the Route 141 pavement experiment added $130,000 to the cost of the project and is believed to be the first U.S. location for testing such a smog-alleviating concept. (Read West News article here.) Initial results reportedly showed a significant impact in …

If all goes as planned, three big traffic shifts happen Nov. 22.
In three weeks, on Nov. 22, anyone who drives Woods Mill-Highway 141 between Conway Road and Olive Boulevard, or Ladue Road at the 141 intersection should see a change, and feel relief that heavy construction may be over. MoDOT believes new bypasses and links among the old and new roads will open up for traffic. “In a perfect world, at the exact same time,” according to MoDOT Resident Engineer Jesse Jonas, three things will happen Nov. 22—a Tuesday. “This is where it gets crazy. A lot happens then,” Jonas said. When those three things happen, traffic will be in the configuration it will be in for most of the duration of the rest of the project. Shifting north-south traffic onto the new Route 141 will allow the rest of the Ladue Road …
