St. Louis, MO, August 13, 2026 —

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has outlined a series of proposed safety improvements for a key section of Route 367 in north St. Louis County. The agency hosted a public meeting to discuss these plans, which aim to address a documented increase in traffic incidents along the corridor between Interstate 270 and Chambers Road.

MoDOT is considering more than a dozen potential modifications to enhance safety on this stretch of Route 367. The proposed changes encompass a range of traffic calming and infrastructure adjustments designed to reduce the frequency and severity of crashes. Among the considered alterations are the implementation of narrowed lanes, the addition of curb extensions at intersections to improve pedestrian visibility and slow traffic, and the creation of a dedicated turn lane to streamline traffic flow and prevent rear-end collisions.

The estimated cost for the comprehensive safety upgrade project is approximately $11 million. The proposed improvements are a direct response to recent data indicating a rise in crashes on Route 367, although specific details regarding the nature or exact number of these incidents were not provided in the initial summary. The public meeting served as an opportunity for MoDOT to present its preliminary ideas and gather feedback from the community before finalizing any plans.

Further details on the specific timeline for the project’s implementation and the procurement process for contractors were not immediately available. MoDOT has indicated that the proposed changes are part of its ongoing commitment to improving road safety throughout the region.
