Easing the I-70 drive will be expensive
Tuesday, July 11, 2006
Boy when the Missouri Department of Transportation wants to think big, they most certainly can. The top dog at MoDOT said last week he would like to separate large trucks and cars along Interstate 70 by constructing four new lanes of traffic - two in both directions - limited to large truck traffic. The lanes would be separated by a concrete barrier and would obviously help the mid-state corridor which now carries large trucks for 40 percent of the total traffic.
