The major east-west roadway runs from Chesterfield in West County all the way to the eastern edge of University City.
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is looking to improve the traffic flow on Olive Boulevard, a road that has likely been the source of many a frustrated commute for St. Louis County drivers.
