Districts Impacted
Traffic is congested on U.S. Route 50 at Route CC and Technology Drive, especially during work and school rush hours. The addition of signals and turn lanes will improve safety and traffic flow at these two intersections.
Project Milestones
The Missouri Department of Transportation and their consultants designed intersection improvements that include:
- Adding signals at the intersection of U.S. Route 50 and Route CC.
- Adding signals at the intersection of U.S. Route 50 and Technology Drive.
- Pavement widening at both intersections for the addition of turn lanes.
The estimated cost for constructing these improvements as of May 30, 2023, is $2.1 million. This cost may change.

The project is currently scheduled to go out for bids as part of MoDOT's May 2024 letting when contractors may submit competitive bids. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission may award the contract as part of their June 2024 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.
At this time, construction is anticipated to begin in summer 2024 with completion late in 2024.
The roadway is expected to remain open during construction with single-lane closures during working hours.
