Main routes: I-270 and Route 203
When Route 66 was commissioned in 1926 it came through here along the corridor Route 203 now follows, and the later Chain of Rocks Bridge route met the original road at this spot. The restored neon sign at the Luna Cafe, built in 1924, still marks it. Route 203 ends at I-270 in the community, which keeps truck traffic close.
That mix of interstate access and river bottom ground shapes the paving. We build driveways and parking lots, and the truck and trailer areas that come with freight. Homes typically get 2 to 3 inches of compacted hot-mix asphalt over compacted rock. Truck surfaces get a deeper base and more than one lift.

Bottomland ground is flat, which means a driveway has to be shaped to drain rather than counted on to run off on its own. We set the slope, remove soft soil, compact rock in layers and place hot mix over it, typically 2 to 3 inches compacted for a car and pickup drive. Where a work truck parks or a trailer gets backed in, we build the base deeper and the asphalt thicker.
Driveway pavingLots along Route 203 and near the I-270 interchange see delivery trucks, trailers and customer cars on the same pavement. We build the base for the heaviest of them, plan entrances so trucks turn without riding the edge, and slope the surface to defined drainage. Asphalt goes down in lifts. Sound lots may need only repair, an overlay or seal coating.
Parking lot pavingYard roads, plant and warehouse access drives, private roads and short subdivision streets get graded, crowned and built over a compacted rock base sized to the loads. Truck entrances off Route 203 take the deepest base, since a loaded semi turning slowly does more to pavement edges than a full day of car traffic.
Road constructionPlenty of Mitchell 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 Mitchell brothers bought this land in 1870 and drained about 4,000 acres of bottomland for a cattle ranch, which says what the ground is: flat American Bottom floodplain of river-laid clay, silt, sand and gravel. Water does not leave on its own here. We build drainage into the grade, dig out soft material and compact the base in layers.
A cheap bid usually gets cheap somewhere you cannot see. Ask what depth of stone goes down, how thick the asphalt is after rolling, and who fixes it if water still stands.
Typical ranges. Your Mitchell estimate is sized to the soil, the traffic and the drainage on your property.

Often yes. Floodplain soils vary from firm sand to soft clay within a short distance, so we check the subgrade rather than assume. Where the ground is soft, the fix is removing it, building a deeper compacted rock base and making sure water has a planned way off the surface.
We pave in Mitchell, Pontoon Beach, Granite City, Hartford, Roxana, Edwardsville and the rest of Madison County, plus the Missouri side of greater St. Louis. I-270 makes the crossing quick. Estimates are free and you get 25% off.
Typically a compacted crushed-stone base several inches deep on firm soil, with soft spots dug out first, and that holds for any Mitchell driveway. On clay soils that hold water, a thicker base and good slope matter even more. The estimate states the base depth so there are no surprises.
Often it can. A settled apron on a Mitchell drive usually means the base under it gave way. We dig out the soft material, rebuild with compacted stone, and reset the grade so water leaves the drive instead of pooling at the garage.
We pave all around Mitchell, across Madison County and the rest of greater St. Louis on both sides of the river.
