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.

 

 

Project Goals

  • Deliver the project by the end of 2027 within the program budget. ​

  • Provide a third lane of travel for eastbound and westbound Interstate 70 from Columbia to Kingdom City.​

  • Improve I-70/U.S. 63 and I-70/U.S. 54 Interchanges providing for better traffic flow and movement of freight. ​

  • Improve the interstate while modernizing the existing pavement and bridges​

  • Minimize construction impacts through communication and construction staging while maintaining safety and mobility. ​

  • Provide expanded employment opportunities to a diverse workforce. ​
