St. Charles County Highway Department Hosting Hepperman Road Phase II Public Information Meeting

Wentzville-area residents interested in learning more about the next phase of the Hepperman Road project are invited to attend a public information meeting Thursday, July 25, at St. Gianna Catholic Church (450 East Highway N) in Wentzville. County Highway Department staff will answer questions and walk through project plans from 4:30-7 p.m.

Proposed improvements include:

• Reconstructing the road surface and roadside drainage.
• Improving sight distance, widening driving lanes and adding paved shoulders.
• Adding a new sidewalk on the west side of the road.

The project is funded by St. Charles County's 1/2-cent Transportation Sales Tax, as well as a grant from the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA). The estimated $3.14 million project is in the preliminary design stage.

For those unable to attend the meeting, a public comment form and project materials will be available July 25-Aug. 8 at sccmo.org/HeppermanPhase2. After the public comment period closes, plans may be updated based on public feedback. Easement acquisition and negotiations are expected to begin later this year, with construction anticipated to begin in fall 2025.
