• Arnold to improve Richardson-Old Lemay Ferry intersection (myleaderpaper.com) — Drivers who use Richardson Road and Old Lemay Ferry in Arnold should prepare for a major intersection realignment next year that will close about 200 feet of Richardson from June 1 to Aug. 15. The city has hired Jokerst Inc. for a mostly grant-funded project adding turn lanes, fixing stormwater piping, and improving sight lines to make this busy junction much safer.
