ST.LOUIS - Drivers who use the southbound Route 67 lanes leaving Alton, Illinois to enter Missouri will not want to miss the upcoming public meeting on Tuesday, October 15. The public meeting will be held from 4 - 6 p.m. at the Audubon Center at Riverlands located at 301 Riverlands Way in West Alton, MO.
At the public meeting, attendees will receive information about the upcoming project to improve Route 67 in West Alton, Missouri. MoDOT officials will be present to answer questions and discuss the project that is scheduled to begin in 2021.
The proposed project will raise the lanes carrying southbound Route 67 to the elevation of the northbound lanes for approximately one mile south of the Clark Bridge over the Mississippi River. The project will not completely eliminate flooding of the southbound Route 67 lanes between the Missouri and Mississippi Rivers, but will reduce the frequency flooding in the area.
No formal presentations will be made during the open house-style hearing. The public may stop by at any time during the advertised hours and speak with MoDOT and consultant staff about the project.
For additional information about the public meeting or other MoDOT transportation projects, please call the customer service center at 1-888-ASK-MODOT (275-6636).
