Corridor Improvements and signal upgrades on U.S. Route 40 from Cliff Avenue to Little Blue Parkway to improve traffic flow and safety along the Route 40 corridor.
The project includes improving Route D (North Washington Street) from Route EE (Burks Road) to Route 32 (Karsch Boulevard). The project will widen Route D with a two-way, left-turn lane from Hillsboro Road to Route 32; extend the right-turn lane to better accommodate the southbound to westbound movement from Route D onto Route 32; rebuild the roadway (full-depth replacement) from Route EE to Route 32 to address the current pavement conditions; and improve drainage. The box culvert crossing Route D near Route 32 will also be extended to the west to provide more clearance for vehicles making a right turn onto Route 32. Additionally, it will update pedestrian facilities on the eastside of Route D to meet Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) requirements. As part of the safety improvement project, access management measures will be implemented to reduce conflict points along the corridor.
This is a bridge replacement project at Cookingham Drive over I-435 just west of the I-435 and U.S. 169 interchange in Platte County. The existing bridge has reached the end of its service life and needs to be replaced.
Cookingham Drive will be closed for the duration of the project and a detour will be provided. I-435 will remain open to traffic. Drivers will be diverted up and down the ramps for bridge demolition and to install girders.

This work is part of the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville Project covering the eastern portion of I-70. It was awarded in November 2024. Construction is set to continue through 2028.
Missouri’s FY2024 budget, approved through the state legislative process and signed into law by the governor, provides $2.8 billion in General Revenue to build a third lane of I-70 across the state. The program will plan, design, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, and add a third lane in each direction on nearly 200 miles of I-70, from Blue Springs to Wentzville. For more information on the Improve I-70 Program and to sign up for program e-mails, visit http://www.modot.org/improvei70.
The project will provide an improved crossing of Route Y across the Niangua River in Webster County between St. Luke Road and Willow Lane in Conway. Comments on this project will be collected until Tuesday, September 23, 2026.
The Missouri Department of Transportation plans to replace two bridges on Route M and one bridge on Route C in Madison County. The bridges will be replaced with wider structures.
The projects include:
During construction, the roadway will be closed in the vicinity of each bridge for approximately three months. Closures of County Road 310 and County Road 301 will be necessary as construction is underway for the Route M bridges over Shetley Creek and East Fork Big Creek, respectively.
Work to replace the Route M bridges could begin as early as December 2026. Work to replace the Route C bridge is anticipated to begin in summer 2027 to minimize impacts to the local school district.
MoDOT plans to replace the Route OO bridge over the Whitewater River in Cape Girardeau County. The bridge is located four miles south of Burfordville, Missouri between County Road 379 and County Road 365. The new bridge will be 26 feet wide, six feet wider than the existing structure.
Work to replace the bridge could begin as early as summer 2026. During construction, the roadway will be closed in the vicinity of the bridge for approximately five months. A signed detour will be in place.
Due to the proximity of the Route OO bridge to the Route Z bridges over Hubble Creek and Hubble Creek Overflow near Gordonville, Missouri, the construction schedules will be coordinated to avoid closing the routes simultaneously.
JEFFERSON COUNTY- The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) invites the public to an open house-style meeting to discuss the proposed intersection improvements on Route 61/67 in Jefferson County. This project along U.S. 61/67 stretches 10 miles, beginning at the intersection of Route M and U.S. 61/67 near Barnhart and ending at the intersection of American Legion Dr. and U.S. 61/67 in Festus.

The meeting will be held on Thursday, September 18 from 4 p.m. to 6 p.m., at Pevely City Hall, 401 Main Street, Pevely, MO, 63070.
This project focuses on maintaining the longevity of the life of this stretch of roadway.
The project includes adding a center turn lane on Route 53 in Poplar Bluff, Missouri from Route 142 to County Road 306. Additionally, this project includes a left turn lane at Route UU and access management measures to reduce conflict points along the corridor.
