Baxter Road Closing between Manor Creek and Country Ridge

Baxter Road will close until mid-September from just north of Manor Creek to just south of Country Ridge Drive, effective Tuesday, June 5, 2012 starting at 6:00 a.m.

 

The closure is a component of St. Louis County's $5.2 million Baxter Road improvement project, which began in the spring of 2011 and will be complete - as per schedule - this December. The County's contractor, Pace Construction, will be removing an outdated, rust-damaged bridge immediately north of Manor Creek Drive and replacing it with a new, reinforced concrete box culvert.

 

During the closure:

  • Southbound Baxter Road traffic will be able to turn left and right on to Country Ridge, but can go no further south than Country Ridge's intersection with Baxter Road.
  • Northbound Baxter Road traffic, coming from Clayton Road, will be able to turn onto Manor Creek Drive, but will be unable to proceed any further north than that.

 

No traffic will be allowed within the parameters of the closure.

 

Country Ridge Drive (east) and Claymont Estates Drive (west) currently are closed, but will reopen to traffic prior to the closure between Manor Creek Drive and Country Ridge Drive.
