Missouri’s new 2007 statewide construction map, now available on www.modot.org, will provide details about work zones on major roadways and hopefully minimize delays and frustrations for motorists.

The map will provide project details and indicate whether the work will occur during the daytime, nighttime or both day and night. The map will also show what work is a part of the Better Roads, Brighter Future program, which will improve the remainder of the state’s 5,600 miles of major highways by 2011.

This is the second year that MoDOT has offered the statewide construction map online after a lot of positive feedback from last year’s map.

“Last year’s map was a big hit and really improved travel for motorists who planned ahead for their trips,” said Don Hillis, director of System Management. “This year is another big year for construction, so we again urge motorists to check out the 2007 construction map before they head out on the roadways.”

The statewide construction map is just one of many things that MoDOT is doing to make traveling Missouri roadways easier and safer during the 2007 construction season.

Hard copies of the statewide construction map are available by calling MoDOT’s toll-free number, 888-ASK-MoDOT.
