MoDOT announces safety demonstration on Route 30, Nov. 14

ST. LOUIS - As part of the Route 30 (Gravois Avenue) study in the city of St. Louis, the Missouri Department of Transportation will conduct a safety demonstration on Saturday, Nov. 14, 2026, to demonstrate several possible changes to the corridor.

The safety demonstration will take place from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Gravois Avenue near Gustine Avenue, between Winnebago Street and Giles Avenue.

The demonstration will use traffic control devices, including cones, signs and barricades, to temporarily implement reduced vehicle lanes, dedicated turn lanes and a shortened pedestrian crossings. Dedicated bicycle facilities are not part of this demonstration, though they are still in consideration for the final project.

Project staff will be on-site to share information with community members about the proposed designs. Feedback gathered during the demonstration will help inform the design and development of corridor improvements. Construction on the resurfacing and safety improvements is scheduled to begin in 2029.

The public is also invited to attend an open house on Nov. 17 from 4 to 6:30 p.m. at Rung for Women, 2717 Sidney St., St. Louis, MO 63104. There will be information displayed around the room, but no formal presentation, and attendees may stop by at any time. Project updates and information about future meetings will be shared as the study progresses.
