- Laurie and I have been driving to Washington for the past Saturday and 2 Sundays ago. There are no crews working on either day. It seems unlikely they will be working Saturday, because this is a very busy stretch of highway on the weekends. We are taking I-44 Saturday morning after we eat breakfast at Cracker Barrel in Fenton. By the way, the 4 lane highway 100 is now open from I-44 to Washington MO.
