St. Louis County received $20 million in American Recovery and Reinvestment Act (ARRA) funds.
The Page to Olive Connector will link the southern extension of the Maryland Heights Expressway from Page Avenue to the new alignment of Missouri Highway 141 at Olive Boulevard. The primary purpose of the Page to Olive Connector is to relieve traffic on local roads.
The Page to Olive Connector is the middle link in an expressway corridor extending from U.S. 61-67 in Jefferson County to Missouri Route 370 in northwest St. Louis County. The corridor then continues north and east of Route 370 as local arterials.
The proposed Page to Olive Connector will be a limited access roadway with three driving lanes in each direction. There will be a six-foot wide inside shoulder and an 8 eight-foot wide outside shoulder. The project will also include some minor improvements to the Page Avenue Maryland Heights Expressway interchange.
