Overnight Utility Work by Spire Started July 24

July 2025 - On July 24, Spire began three weeks of overnight work, 7 p.m.-7 a.m., on northbound Kingshighway and on westbound Barnes-Jewish Plaza. (see image) Spire will take up one full drive lane marked in red below.  Day crews also will work Friday, July 25 between 9 a.m. and 4 p.m. locating other utilities. 

Trenches that are dug will be plated and drivable during off hours. Spire will maintain access to the BJH emergency department. The only exception is the right turn lane on to Children’s Place from northbound Kingshighway will be blocked for the three weeks. Right turns will be possible from the through lane.

This does not affect any entrance to the Plaza Garage or patient drop off on Barnes-Jewish Plaza.

After this work is completed, it will continue on Kingshighway north of Children’s Place. More information on scope and duration will be shared.
