Project Overview:

The project included Interstate 44 resurfacing in Laclede, Pulaski and Phelps counties and bridge repair on three Phelps County bridges:

  • The eastbound and westbound Interstate 44 bridges over Smith and Tater Hollow near Jerome.
  • The I-44 westbound off-ramp bridge to Route D (Jerome) near Jerome.

Contractors  extended the existing I-44 westbound climbing lane at mile marker 171.8  an additional 800 feet. This allows motorists more time to accelerate and merge with I-44 westbound traffic.

This project also included resurfacing and guardrail work on I-44 from mile marker 145-177 in Laclede, Pulaski and Phelps counties. 

Cost:

$12.9 million
