Traveler Information Map

In June, 2018, MoDOT’s online Traveler Information Map was upgraded to include preferred detour routes to better move traffic through areas of congestion due to work zones or incident on both Interstates 70 and 44.

In the event of an incident or work zone event, a TMC operator can activate a bypass on I-44 or I-70. Bypasses are based on predetermined routes previously selected by an incident bypass team and are reflected on the map with a green and yellow dashed line with a bypass symbol placed intermittently along the route. Bypass routes are validated nightly to check for lane, weight and height restrictions. Any bypass route that restricts legal loads is marked ineligible and is not recommended as a bypass option.

Once a bypass is activated or deactivated, MSHP Dispatch and District staff are notified by email. While a bypass is active, a reminder email is sent to appropriate District staff similar to the Traffic Impact application.

The updated Traffic Bypass Application offers MoDOT customers and out-of-state visitors the convenience of planning their routes through the state with minimal interruptions in travel.
