The St. Louis Road Resurfacing Program is part of a multi-year effort to improve key arterial streets throughout the city. The City’s current Friendly Streets program describes more than $300 million in transportation infrastructure investment between 2025 and 2028, with several major arterial resurfacing and safety projects continuing from the 2024–2026 construction program.
The work is designed to deliver safer, more accessible, and user-friendly streets for motorists, cyclists, pedestrians, transit riders, and people using mobility aids. It reflects a citywide focus on safety, connectivity, and maintenance.
Key Aspects of the Program
Targeted Streets
Major corridors in the City’s arterial improvement program include Goodfellow, Union, Kingshighway, Grand, Jefferson, Washington, Broadway, 4th Street, and Convention Plaza.
Traffic Safety Enhancements
The City is investing more than $46 million between 2024 and 2026 in Principal Arterial Traffic Safety Enhancements covering approximately 30 miles of corridors and selected intersections.
Planned Improvements Include:
- Pavement resurfacing for smoother rides
- Lane reductions and reconfigurations to calm traffic and reduce speeding
- ADA improvements to improve accessibility
- Protected and shared bike facilities to improve cyclist safety
- Shortened crosswalks to ease pedestrian crossing
- Bump-outs to slow turning vehicles and improve visibility
Construction Schedule
Construction began on Kingshighway Boulevard in fall 2024. The City’s published schedule places work on Grand, Goodfellow, Union, Jefferson, 4th Street, Convention Plaza, and Broadway between fall 2024 and fall 2026. Because individual project schedules can change, readers should use the City’s Friendly Streets page and Board of Public Service project pages for the latest status.
Safety and Mobility First
The program is intended to address excessive speeding and crash concentrations while making city streets safer and more inclusive. Improvements such as resurfacing, lane reconfiguration, ADA upgrades, signal timing, bicycle facilities, shorter crossings, and other street-design changes support safer travel across St. Louis.
