ST. LOUIS – MoDOT plows were still getting to major roads partially covered in snow Wednesday. 

Tammy Hipshur and Valerie Whitehead drove from Illinois for medical treatment. They said Lindbergh Boulevard was the worst they had seen. 

“One lane, slush, just not plowed very well,” Whitehead said. 

“Terrible. When we hit Creve Coeur, the roads were awful,” Hipshur said. 

“Lindbergh is a major route, but it’s not an interstate, so that’s why it’s lower on the priority. Unfortunately, everybody came back to work yesterday. There was a lot of traffic on there, and they packed everything down,” MoDOT District Maintenance Engineer Bob Becker said. 

Crews are addressing other numbered routes like Lindbergh, Olive, and Page Wednesday, Becker added.

Lindbergh still just had one lane clear Wednesday morning. FOX 2’s Woods Basement System StormRunner saw plows on Lindbergh in the early afternoon, but some on-and-off ramps were still covered.

“We’d like to be farther along by far, but this was a big historic storm. We hadn’t had this much snow in a long time,” Becker said. 

St. Louis County adds it has hit all of its major roads and is now going back. 

“We hit those six times and moved back into the subdivisions and hit those hard for a coupe of days. Now we’re just following up on problem areas,” County Department of Transportation and Public Works spokesman Dave Wrone said.

Hipshur said on the state highways, she really noticed a difference from Illinois to Missouri. 

“Up until that point, the roads were wonderful,” she said. 

Once MoDOT has finished the numbered routes, it will move on to less-traveled lettered routes.
