Better Roads, Brighter Future Will
Save Lives, Create Jobs
MoDOT will improve the remainder of the state’s 5,600 miles of major highways over the next five years. These busy highways will receive wider stripes and rumble stripes, brighter signs, paved shoulders and smooth pavement that will bring 85 percent of Missouri’s major highway system up to good condition by the end of 2011.
Called Better Roads, Brighter Future, the program targets highways carrying 80 percent of all travel on the state highway system—that’s 103 million miles traveled a day. About 95 percent of all Missourians live within 10 miles of one of these roads.
