Missouri Group to Ask Lawmakers to Widen I-70 to Six Total Lanes Statewide

(Missourinet) With a reported six-billion-dollar state budget surplus, a Missouri group wants the legislature to dedicate funding to expand Interstate 70 from St. Louis to Kansas City. Morgan Mundell, with Missourians for Transportation Investment, says the group will ask lawmakers to widen I-70 to six lanes – three in each direction.

Mundell says the price tag to expand I-70 would be about $2.5 to $3 billion over seven to ten-years.
