Work is expected to begin next summer to widen and reconstruct I-70 in Missouri after the Legislature approved $2.8 billion in funding for the project. The highway between St. Louis and Kansas City has not faced such a large upgrade since it was built 60 years ago. The Missouri Department of Transportation has been approved for the funding to widen 200 miles of the interstate by an extra lane in each direction between Blue Springs and Wentzville. The widening project also includes reconstruction, rehabilitation and repair of existing roadway, MoDOT says.
