What's Happening? 

MoDOT is conducting a study with its consultant team to identify ways to improve the interstate as it crosses through Boone County. This section of I-70 is an 18-mile stretch from just east of Route BB (Exit 115) to just east of Route Z (Exit 133).  For the purposes of this study, this area is broken into three distinct sections. 

What is an Environmental Study Re-Evaluation? 

An environmental study re-evaluation is a process to review the environmental impact categories and commitments to ensure that any recent changes to the corridor are incorporated into the document. 

During the current phase of work, these are the primary objectives: 

• Evaluate previous preferred alternatives to determine which elements are still valid and which ones will no longer meet the needs of the corridor.
• Re-evaluate potential impacts of the previously determined preferred alternatives, current conditions and related mitigation measures that may have changed.
• Engage with stakeholders to provide a project status and obtain important feedback.
• Prepare the project to move forward into design.
