The Missouri DOT recently unveiled a plan to expand and improve Interstate 70, which runs east-west across the state and has been a source of consternation for drivers for decades . Missouri allocated $2.8 billion in its fiscal year 2024 budget to reconstruct 200 miles of the highway. Improve I-70 represents Missouri's largest amount of funding to rebuild the interstate since its original construction in the 1960s, according to Kansas City Public Radio. Missouri DOT will plan, design, construct and repair three lanes in each direction across the state between Wentzville and Blue Springs, in the Kansas City area.
