The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected the Millstone Weber Team as the apparent best-value proposer, according to a community announcement.

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.
