Widening and reconstructing the 199-miles of I-70 between Kansas City and St. Louis is expected to cost about $3 billion. No funding has been allocated for steps beyond the Improve I-70 Studies.

The Studies are part of MoDOT's long range transportation planning efforts. Their completion will ensure that immediate needs on I-70 are addressed within the context of a long-range view for the corridor. This approach will ultimately save taxpayer dollars by working from a single, comprehensive plan for I-70 improvements.
