Mr. Bill Schnell,  MoDOT Area Engineer for the St. Louis Metro North District has been selected to receive the annual Outstanding Citizen Award of the Old Jamestown Association.  The award is made each year to a citizen who has contributed to the quality of life in North St. Louis County. 

Mr. Schnell has been Area Engineer for the MoDOT  St. Louis Metro North Team since 1999.  During his tenure he has provided leadership for many of the MoDOT  highway improvement projects in North St. Louis County.  Completion in December 2007 of the Highway 367 Corridor Project, which transformed 367 to an uninterrupted freeway from I-270 to New Jamestown Road, six months ahead of schedule and $28,000,000 below the estimated cost, was a significant achievement for the entire Design and Construction team.

He was instrumental in initiating new requirements for the contractor to actively manage construction traffic which resulted in Route 367 flowing better during construction than before the project started.
