Main routes: Route 100, Route 96, and Route 108
The Kampsville ferry runs around the clock and free, carrying Route 108 traffic across the Illinois River to Greene County. That keeps a steady line of vehicles moving through a village of a few hundred people. Paving here means driveways first, then the parking that serves the archeology center, the shops and the river landings, then private lanes.
Route 96 begins here at Route 100 and heads west toward the Mississippi. The ground between the rivers is a different animal than upland farm country, wetter in the low spots and steeper where it climbs. We grade for water, compact the base in layers, then place and roll hot mix. Free estimates and 25% off. The number is (866) 490-7680.
Drives here either sit low near the river or climb off it, and the two problems are opposite. Low ground stays damp and needs soft material removed with a thicker compacted base. A climbing drive sheds water fast and needs a cross slope so runoff leaves the side rather than cutting down the middle. We build for whichever one you have.
Driveway pavingParking around the ferry landing, the museum and the village businesses takes visitor traffic in season and truck traffic year round. We build the base for the trucks, grade the lot so water clears to a low side, and put extra base at the entrance and the turnaround, where loaded vehicles twist a surface most.
Parking lot pavingAccess drives to a landing, private lanes back from the road and farm roads across the bottoms all need drainage before thickness. A crowned surface over a compacted base, with shoulders that hold. Chip seal handles a long lane with light traffic. Asphalt is worth it where the lane works all year.
Road constructionGeneral paving in Kampsville can be as simple as a new apron where the drive meets the street or as big as an overlay across a business lot. Either way the estimate spells out the base work, the asphalt thickness and what the finished surface should look like.
Asphalt paving
The village sits on the west bank of the Illinois River, and river ground holds moisture longer than upland does. Moisture in a base freezes in winter, lifts the asphalt and leaves a crack behind. We remove material that will not compact, build rock in layers and set a grade that moves water off before the freeze arrives.
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.
Typical ranges. Your Kampsville estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

More base, usually, rather than more asphalt. Damp ground has to come out and be replaced with compacted rock so the surface has a firm platform. Extra asphalt on a soft base still cracks. We look at the ground during the free estimate and build accordingly.
Yes. We work both sides, in Calhoun County and across in Greene and Jersey counties, and through greater St. Louis on both sides of the Mississippi. Call (866) 490-7680 for a free estimate, and you get 25% off the work.
Hot-mix asphalt needs warm air and warm ground to compact properly, and the plants serving Kampsville typically run from spring into late fall. Winter is a good time to get your estimate and book a spot for the season.
In Kampsville that is the piece that takes the most abuse, so it gets extra attention: a firm base, a tie-in that sits flush with the road, and a shape that moves water to the ditch or gutter instead of back toward the drive.
We pave all around Kampsville, across Calhoun County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
