Missouri was the first state in the nation to begin construction on highway projects funded by the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act.

The minute President Obama signed the economic recovery bill, MoDOT went to work to replace one of the state’s oldest and most rickety bridges, the Osage River bridge near Tuscumbia. Construction on three other recovery act projects also started immediately:

New passing lanes on Route 60 in Barry, Lawrence, Christian and Greene counties.

Resurfacing on Interstate 35 in Clinton County.

Improving pavement on Interstate 55 in Pemiscot and New Madrid counties.

Additional road, bridge, air, rail, transit, pedestrian and bicycle projects will be under way in the coming weeks and months.

All along, MoDOT said we’d be ready to go with critical transportation projects, and we delivered. We are committed to putting your tax dollars to use as quickly as possible to create jobs, improve roads and save lives!
