ST. LOUIS, Mo. (KMOV) - Missouri Governor Mike Parson signed off on a $2.8 billion upgrade plan for one of the most traveled roadways in the state on Monday. I-70 is getting upgraded almost 70 years after the state first broke ground on the interstate. Lawmakers approved the $2.8 billion for improvements, which includes a third lane that would span the state in both directions. That third lane is planned for the stretch of I-70 from Wentzville to Blue Springs. The project also calls for redoing the current pavement, building new bridges and reconfiguring interchanges.
