A portion of Highway N in Cottleville will close June thru July near Eagle Hill Lane between Dardenne Farms and Colonial Green. Businesses will remain OPEN. Anyone who lives in Dardenne Farms or west of there will have to come and go from Route K while anyone in Colonial Green or east of there will have to come and go from Mid Rivers Mall Drive.  

The work is necessary so crews can replace a large box culvert under the road.  This work is part of an ongoing project in the area that will widen Highway N from Eagle Hill Lane to Weiss Road.  The road will also be raised about two-and-a-half feet, shoulders and guardrails will be added in certain areas. For more information on the project go to   http://www.modot.org/stlouis/major_projects/RouteNImprovements.htm.

A consultant has been engaged to design and plan possible improvements to Fifth Street in Old Town Cottleville from Highway N to St. Charles Street. For many years, the Cottleville Community Improvement District has discussed much needed improvements for Fifth Street in Cottleville's historic district. The intersection at Highway N and Fifth Street is congested and too often, accidents occur at this location. These improvements could include an improved storm water system, curbs, sidewalks, more parking, better street signage and street lighting that would resemble our recent improvements on Main Street or along Highway N. While planning and design work continues, the construction phase for any Fifth Street improvement is not yet completely funded; therefore, a construction timeline has not been set. However, our City Administrator, Rich Francis will be meeting with property owners along the route and he plans for the project to go out to bid this summer.
