In 2006, U.S. Route 63 from U.S. Route 50 in Osage County to Rolla in Phelps County was ranked second out of 40 projects for future transportation needs by MoDOT and state planning partners. Subsequently, an Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) was conducted for this 47-mile section of U.S. Route 63. The EIS was completed in 2009 and identified the preferred alternative for improvements to this stretch of highway. This EIS underwent a re-evaluation, which was completed and approved by the Federal Highway Administration in June 2025.
Based on the approved EIS, MoDOT is designing a new alignment for one of the sections of U.S. Route 63 in Osage County with the goal of improving safety and traffic flow. These improvements will require right-of-way acquisition.
Missouri’s transportation system is a tremendous asset to the citizens of Missouri. The system consists of 33,811 miles of roads and 10,392 bridges, both of which rank among the largest for any state in the nation. The Missouri Department of Transportation working with its statewide regional planning partners have identified $1.1 billion in annual unfunded needs. From the broader unfunded needs, MoDOT has developed a High Priority Unfunded Needs list to guide the development of projects into funded projects as state and federal transportation funds increase.

The truss-style bridge over Big Creek and the Rock Island Trail on MO Route 7 (Dr. Fred L Seevers Memorial Bridge), built in 1948, is nearing the end of its service life and is scheduled to be replaced with a girder-style bridge. The bridge is located just north of Raffurty Road and just south of 1st Street in Pleasant Hill.
