93.9 The Eagle – The News and Talk of Columbia, MO
Mid-Missourians have another opportunity this evening to learn more about Missouri’s $2.8 billion I-70 expansion plan.
The state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will hold an open house style meeting from 5-7 pm at Boonville’s Hannah Cole school gymnasium, which is located on West Ashley road. MoDOT engineers will be on-hand to answer your questions.
Governor Mike Parson has signed bipartisan legislation into law providing the funding. The money will be used to plan, build, rebuild and expand I-70 to three lanes in each direction from Blue Springs to Wentzville. There will be no formal presentation today, so you can arrive anytime between 5-7.
MoDOT held a similar meeting at Columbia’s Battle high school on Wednesday. State transportation officials tell 939 the Eagle that they’re doing everything they can to avoid taking property for the project.
