The project is currently scheduled to be part of MoDOT's May 2026 letting, when contractors may submit competitive bids. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission may award the contract as part of their July 2026 meeting and, if the contract is awarded, a notice to proceed date will also be given. That is the earliest date the contractor may begin work.
Construction could begin in 2026, but the exact schedule will not be determined until after the contract is awarded.
At this time, the roadway is expected to remain open, but motorists will encounter lane closures throughout the construction process.
At this time, the project is expected to be completed by November 2027.
