Improving Connectivity With a Tight Diamond Interchange

David Hoekel Parkway Interchange at I-70

City of Wentzville, MO

For decades, Wentzville, MO, has sought improvements to David Hoekel Parkway as a means to facilitate growth not only in the city, but throughout the entire county. That vision came one step closer to reality with the completion of a new interchange at I-70.

CMT led the design of a tight diamond interchange to enhance connectivity and alleviate congestion along the critical thoroughfare. The project included two bridges carrying David Hoekel Parkway over I-70 and the Norfolk Southern Railroad, large mechanically stabilized earth (MSE) walls supporting bridge end fills, and outer road relocations.

Extensive railroad coordination was essential for the success of the project. CMT’s design, including the innovative interchange type and alignment changes, reduced the cost of the interchange by $5.9 million, a 20% savings over the concept originally considered. A successful cost share application with the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) helped the city secure the remaining funding to complete the project.
