Missouri has selected a contractor team for a $583 million project to widen 44 miles of Interstate 70 between Kingdom City and Warrenton. The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected the Millstone Weber Team as the apparent best-value proposer, according to a community announcement. The team includes contractor Millstone Weber, designer Jacobs Inc. and key partner WSP. Contract negotiations are underway. The project will add a third lane in each direction and replace existing I-70 pavement between Kingdom City and Warrenton with new full-depth concrete pavement. Plans also include three bridge replacements, six bridge rehabilitations, a fourth eastbound lane at Mineola Hill to serve as a climbing lane and a redesigned Norfolk Southern Railroad crossing at High Hill. The 44-mile project is the sixth in Missouri's Improve I-70 Program, a $2.8 billion effort to add a third lane in each direction and make other improvements along nearly 200 miles of I-70 from Blue Springs to Wentzville. “Choosing the Millstone Weber Team as the Design-Build contractor for the Improve I-70: Kingdom City to Warrenton project is another important milestone for MoDOT’s Statewide Improve I-70 Program,” MHTC Chairman Warren Erdman said in the announcement.
