Provides Easy Access to Newly Renamed St. Louis Outlet Mall<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a>
This is the view of the newly reopened stretch of Missouri Bottoms Road looking west down the hill towards St. Louis Outlet Mall. The reopening of the road will allow closer access to St. Louis Outlet Mall (formerly St. Louis Mills) for many motorists in Hazelwood and Florissant.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

The City of Hazelwood reopened Missouri Bottom Road on October 22, giving local residents access to a shortcut to St. Louis Outlet Mall, formerly known as St. Louis Mills, once again.<\/p>\n

A portion of the street between Tulip Tree Lane and Taussig Road had to be shut down on December 22, 2009, due to its poor condition, which moved up the City\u2019s timetable to start reconstruction on the same stretch of road.<\/p>\n

The road will be open to all automobile traffic. However, no trucks in excess of 12,000 lbs. will be permitted. Drivers in violation of this city ordinance will be issued a citation and must appear in court.<\/p>\n

The city already had plans to begin reconstruction of the road in the fall of 2010.\u00a0 But unforeseen problems resulting from the road\u2019s poor overall condition and the hill\u2019s instability on the western end accelerated the process.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhen it first happened, we noticed the hill had shifted a fair amount, causing the pavement to buckle and break apart,\u201d Hazelwood\u2019s Director of Public Works\/City Engineer David Stewart said.\u00a0 \u201cOut of our concern for public safety, we made the decision to permanently close the road until repairs could be made.\u201d<\/p>\n

Federal funds provided $600,000 worth of matching grants for the project. The total construction costs were\u00a0 $1.3 million.\u00a0 As part of the evaluation process, time was spent testing the slope stability, deciding on the best course of action, and right-of-way acquisitions.<\/p>\n

In January 2010, the Hazelwood City Council approved $141,000 for a contract with EDM Incorporated to do a preliminary study on the road.\u00a0 After the problems were identified, Berra Construction was hired to fix them and do the reconstruction project. This involved installing a drainage system throughout the hillside to make it more stable.<\/p>\n

The construction crews also removed the existing roadway and poured concrete for the new pavement, which included widening and sub-grading the lanes as well as adding pavement lugs to prevent street creep.\u00a0 Other features such as guard rails, retaining walls, and sidewalks for pedestrian use were added for safety purposes.<\/p>\n

Over the past couple of months, Berra Construction has been working on final improvements in order to get the road ready for opening on October 22.<\/p>\n

The most recent work included pouring the remaining segments of sidewalk, installing safety fencing on top of three retaining walls, installing guard rails, adding street signage, striping the pavement, and seeding and placing sod on the remaining areas of the project.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe city\u2019s reconstruction project of Missouri Bottom Road has made it a much nicer, safer and scenic two-lane drive from Tulip Tree Lane to Taussig Road, which passes in front of Hazelwood West Middle School. The panoramic view of St. Louis Outlet Mall and Park 370 is breath-taking, and the guard rails added around the curve provide an extra layer of protection for motorists,\u201d Hazelwood Mayor Matthew Robinson said.\u00a0 \u201cIt was a good use of taxpayers\u2019 money which reaped bountiful returns on our investment for the community.\u201d<\/p>\n

Mayor Robinson went on to say that many residents are very excited about the opening of Missouri Bottom Road.\u00a0 Some of them may find themselves having to adjust back to traffic conditions they haven\u2019t experienced since the closing in 2009.<\/p>\n

St. Louis Mills now St. Louis Outlet Mall<\/strong><\/p>\n

The St. Louis Mills is no longer affiliated with the Mills Corporation. It is now managed by Woodmont Company, which is headquartered in Texas, it was announced recently<\/p>\n

The Woodmont Company manages several outlet malls throughout the country, including Warrenton Outlets in Missouri. They are also the developer of one of the two new outlet malls, St. Louis Premium Outlets, currently being built in Chesterfield.<\/p>\n
