What started in Missouri grew into one of America’s most transformative transportation networks. JOIN US TOMORROW, Friday 8/14, from 1 to 3 p.m. at the St. Charles Convention Center South Exhibit Hall to honor that legacy as we continue to build the next era of I-70-expanding, improving, and preparing it to serve generations to come.

We said we wanted our social media to blow up, not our roads. Road bucklings happen when it’s hot and the ground is moist. And they without warning. If you come across one of these, slow down. Contact MoDOT at 1-888-ASK-MODOT or at https://t.co/aW5LfYqHt6.
