ST. CHARLES COUNTY – The Missouri Department of Transportation will host a virtual public information meeting to share proposed improvement plans for Interstate 70 from Wentzville Parkway to Route Z. The meeting will be held on Tuesday, March 22 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m. via WebEx. Attendees can join the virtual public meeting at: https://www.modot.org/i-70-improvements-wentzville-parkway-route-z and clicking on the virtual public information meeting link.
Attendees will be able to visit and leave the open-house style meeting at any point of the scheduled time; there will be no set times for the presentation. Attendees will also be able to type in questions and get answers about the proposed plan.
The project goal includes improving the capacity, safety, and reliability of I-70 between Wentzville Parkway and I-64. The project will shift I-70 to the southwest, add lanes and replace the existing Norfolk Southern Railroad (NSRR) bridge over I-70. The existing I-70 bridges over Route Z/Church Street will also be widened as part of this project.
This project is currently funded with estimated project costs of $38.5 million. Construction is currently expected to begin in the fall of 2023.
MoDOT is committed to providing equal access to this event for all participants. If you need a reasonable accommodation, please contact Jack Wang at 314-453-1814 or email at jack.wang@modot.mo.gov by Thursday, March 17.
