Connector Road Route Proposed [Aug 4, 2007]
Here's an article about this proposed route for the connector road south of Troy. The story says that the road would go south from Hwy 47, then west over Hwy 61 and connect to Linns Mill Road on the other side. If you think this sound ridiculous, try going to the Gmap-Pedometer mashup site and see what a seven-mile road along that route would look like. The city paid $130,000 for someone to come up with this idea. I know my opinion isn't worth $130,000 but, I would think utilizing the new Hwy C overpass would be a better idea for everyone. Here's a map of the area. Wouldn't is be easier to just connect C to Hwy J via Elm Tree Road?

What Is Going On On 61? [Jan 26, 2007]
Today is the day that MODOT starts taking down part of the Route. A bridge over 61 in Wentzville.
Here is the press release
Schedule of Closures
Rt. 61 under the bridge: 10 pm Fri-4 am Mon
Rt. A bridge will be closed during that time except for Sat. 10 am-7 pm
Here's how they will redirect traffic
While the Route A bridge is closed, travelers on westbound Route A will be able to make a right hand turn only onto northbound Route 61 and travelers on eastbound Route A will be able to make a right hand turn only onto southbound Route 61. Motorists on westbound Route A who want to travel south on Route 61 must turn right onto northbound Route 61 and will be able to make a legal U-turn at a crossover about ½ mile up northbound Route 61.
If you are traveling South on 61 towards St. Charles, I suggest taking Point Prairie Rd. off 61. Point Prairie will take you to West Pearce in Wentzville, where you can get on Hwy. 70. From Point Prairie, you can also take a left on West Meyer Rd., which will take you to Wentzville Parkway.
If you are traveling from St. Charles on Hwy. 70 I suggest taking 70 to the Wentzville Parkway Exit. Take Wentzville Parkway to the West Meyer Rd. stoplight. Make a left onto W. Meyer and follow it to Point Prarie. Make a right on Point Prarie and it will take you to Hwy. 61. You can also make a left from Wentzville Parkway onto West Pearce. This will take you alongside Hwy. 70. Make a right onto Point Prarie and that will take you to 61.
