From St. Charles down through the wine country to Augusta. Two lanes, curves, bluffs, and a long way from a garage.
On the shoulder right now? Get out of the traffic side of the vehicle, put your hazards on, and if you can do it safely, stand well back from the road behind a barrier. Then call (636) 466-8097 and tell us the highway, the direction you were traveling, and the last exit or mile marker you passed. That is all we need to find you.
Highway 94 starts in St. Charles as an ordinary suburban arterial, running south past Harvester and Cottleville with traffic lights, shopping and turning traffic.
Then, somewhere around Weldon Spring, it changes completely. It becomes a two-lane road through the Missouri River bluffs, running southwest past the Busch Conservation Area, through Defiance and out to Augusta. Curves, hills, no shoulder to speak of, and long stretches with nothing on them.
Those two halves produce completely different calls, and that is why this corridor gets its own page.
No shoulder. In much of the southern stretch there is barely anywhere to get a vehicle off the road, and what there is is soft. One wheel off in the wet and you need a winch-out.
Deer. River valley, wooded bluffs, dawn and dusk. It is a leading cause of the accident recovery calls we run out here, and the damage frequently makes the vehicle undrivable.
Gravel on the bends. Rain washes gravel and debris from the bluffs onto the road. Motorcyclists in particular find it.
Patchy cell coverage. The valley and the bluffs create dead spots. If you have a signal, use it before you lose it.
Long distances between services. Running out of fuel here is a bigger problem than running out in town.
Weekend visitor traffic. Wineries, the Katy Trail, and a lot of drivers who do not know the road.
Highway 94 is one of the best motorcycle roads in eastern Missouri, and we run a lot of motorcycle transport calls because of it. If you have come off, get yourself checked first — call 911 if there is any doubt. The bike will still be there.
Between St. Charles and Weldon Spring, Highway 94 behaves like any busy suburban arterial: heavy turning traffic, shopping centers, subdivision entrances, and the low-speed collisions that go with them. Lockouts and dead batteries in the parking lots along it are routine work.
Whichever half you are on, the same number reaches us: (636) 466-8097, 24 hours a day.
Highway work is different from a driveway. Traffic is moving fast, the shoulder is narrow in places, and the priority is getting you and the vehicle off the road before anything else. Our drivers are insured, our trucks are marked, and we work highway calls every week across St. Charles County.
Whether it ends up being a tire change, a jump start, fuel, a winch-out, accident recovery or a straight tow, one call covers it.
We also run I-70, I-64 / US-40, Highway 370 and the Discovery Bridge, Highway 364 / Page Avenue, Highway 79 north along the river and the Blanchette Bridge.
Suburban arterial or wine country two-lane. We run the whole road.
