en.Wedoany.com Reported - Missouri has become the first U.S. state to commit to a full-scale reconstruction of its interstate highway system, starting with the widening and modernization of Interstate 70 (I-70) from St. Louis to Kansas City. This $2.8 billion project aims to convert the existing roadway into a six-lane divided highway, with completion targeted for 2030. It will improve road and bridge conditions, upgrade interchanges, enhance safety and reliability, and provide better service for millions of travelers, freight companies, and communities that rely on this route each year.

To commemorate the 250th anniversary of the founding of the United States and the 70th anniversary of the interstate highway system, Missouri Department of Transportation Director Ed Hassinger stated that the I-70 improvement project represents a once-in-a-generation opportunity to transform one of America's most critical transportation corridors. Through unprecedented investment, innovation, and collaboration, the state is building a safer, smarter, and more resilient interstate system to serve families, businesses, and communities for decades to come.
