Improve I-70 Columbia to Kingdom City
MoDOT, in coordination with the Federal Highway Administration, is finishing the re-evaluation process to update the Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) of Interstate 70 (I-70) between U.S. 63 and U.S. 54.
As work to update the Environmental Impact Statement wraps up, Improve I-70 Columbia to Kingdom City will transition to a Design-Build project and is now requesting qualifications of interested teams.
This project is one of several which will modernize the I-70 corridor across the state. Since its original construction more than 50 years ago, I-70 has been a vital lifeline for moving people, goods and information across Missouri and beyond.
