Highway 40: What to Expect

From the St. Louis Post-Dispatch: "Highway 40: What to expect when construction begins," by Elisa Crouch--

Half the lanes on Highway 40 will remain open and new ones will be created on Interstates 44 and 70 to handle overflow traffic during the massive rebuilding project that starts this spring.

Thirty-two overpasses will be rebuilt on Highway 40 (Interstate 64), a new interchange at Interstate 170 will replace the incomplete one there now, and 12 miles of aging roadbed will be ripped up, say sources briefed on the plan, which remains under wraps at the Missouri Department of Transportation.
