Daily Update:
The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) has committed to improving Missouri’s 5,500 miles of major highways, which carries nearly 80 percent of the state’s traffic. Approximately 95 percent of Missouri’s residents live within 10 miles of these roads.
To accomplish this, MoDOT works under the following programs:
- Better Roads, Brighter Futures – A follow-up to Smooth Roads Initiative, which brought 2,200 miles of major road up to good condition, this program takes on the next wave of 3,300 miles by the end of 2011. Improvements include roadway surface treatments and safety improvements such as wider striping, brighter signing, additional rumble strips and improved shoulders.
-
Statewide Transportation Improvement Plan (STIP) – The STIP is a five-year plan, which outlines projects identified as priorities by MoDOT and its regional planning partners. Once the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approve the STIP, its contents become commitments of the department.
Several projects are planned for Route 63. Please consider how road work may impact your travel plans.
