Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa Noise Wall Meetings
Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa Traffic Sound Barrier Meeting
Thursday, January 22, 2026
4-6 p.m.
Vesper Hall located at 400 NW Vesper St. Blue Springs, MO 64014
As part of the Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa project, a traffic noise analysis was performed. This analysis determined that areas along the project corridor will experience sound level impacts under design year (2050) traffic conditions. A noise impact occurs when a predicted design year noise level exceeds 66 decibels. Five sound barriers are recommended to mitigate for design year noise levels.
This meeting will focus on noise study areas within the Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa project that qualify for noise abatement measures (Sound Barrier). The purpose of this meeting is to obtain public comments and ask residents to vote on whether or not Sound Walls should be constructed at the recommended locations. Note: Only the residents and owners of the properties adjacent to the wall locations will be permitted to vote.
