Three communities became one city here on May 6, 2021, when Cahokia and Alorton merged with Centreville. The pavement did not merge with them. Driveways, business lots and access drives across the city range from decades old to nearly new, and they need different work. We start by reading what the base is doing.
Camp Jackson Road carries Route 157, New Missouri Avenue carries Route 15, and I-255 serves both. St. Louis Downtown Airport sits inside the city limits. Whether the job is a home drive off Mississippi Avenue or a truck-traffic lot near the interstate, we compact a rock base, grade for drainage and lay hot-mix asphalt in lifts. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off.
Many homes here have short drives with the apron right at the curb, and that apron is where failure starts. We build it with extra rock, cut clean edges and set the grade so water heads to the street. Typical drives get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix over a compacted base. Where an old surface has sunk in patches, the base needs rebuilding rather than another overlay.
Driveway pavingLots along Camp Jackson Road, New Missouri Avenue and the streets near the I-255 ramps see delivery trucks daily. We size the base for that weight, build entrances where turning loads grind hardest, and grade to planned drains so water does not sit in the corners. Work can be staged so part of the lot stays open for business.
Parking lot pavingApartment drives, industrial access roads and private streets carry slow, heavy, turning traffic, which chews pavement faster than highway speed does. We rebuild the base deeper at stops and turns, crown the surface, and tie the entrance cleanly into Route 3, Route 157 or the local street so the joint holds.
Road constructionPlenty of Cahokia Heights pavement just needs the right repair at the right time. Full-depth patches, overlays and edge rebuilds stretch the life of what you already have. When a surface is past saving, we say so and quote the rebuild instead.
Asphalt paving
The county's western floodplain, the American Bottom, is mostly protected by a levee and drainage canal system, and the ground under it is deep river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel. It holds water. A wet base under asphalt lifts and cracks through freeze-thaw winters, so we grade for runoff and compact clean rock before paving.
When you compare bids, ask each contractor for three numbers in writing: the compacted asphalt thickness, the base depth, and what happens to the water. Those three decide how long the surface lasts.

Cahokia Heights has been a single city since the 2021 merger, so work that once routed through Cahokia, Alorton or Centreville now goes to one place, with the state involved where an entrance meets a route like Route 3 or Route 157. We confirm the requirements for your address first.
Usually. Ponding means the grade or the outlet is wrong, so we correct that instead of adding asphalt on top. That can mean regrading, new inlets, or rebuilding a low section of base. We include the fix in the free estimate rather than treating it as an extra.
Yes. We work in Cahokia Heights and throughout St. Clair County, along with the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river. Call or send the form with your address and we will set up a time to look at the job.
Plan on keeping cars off new asphalt for two to three days in mild weather, and longer through a hot Cahokia Heights summer. Fresh pavement stays soft while it cures, so turning tires on a parked car is what leaves scuff marks.
