I-270 Mississippi River Bridge completed

New westbound span opens Nov. 16, a Rebuild Illinois achievement advancing improvements to a critical freight corridor in the Metro East MADISON COUNTY — The Illinois and Missouri departments of transportation were joined by local leaders and industry partners today to cut the ribbon on the new Interstate 270 Chain of Rocks twin bridges crossing the Mississippi River, the centerpiece of a combined $531.6 million investment to improve safety and mobility while creating jobs and economic opportunity along a critical freight and travel corridor. The bridges are the latest achievement made possible by Gov. JB Pritzker’s historic Rebuild Illinois capital program, which is delivering billions of dollars in major projects across the state this fall. ​ “Illinois is the gateway to the world — representing one of the most important commerce hubs in the country. Whether it’s workers making their commute or delivery drivers moving freight, Illinoisians deserve a safe and reliable system to get where they need to go,” said Gov. Pritzker. “With the completion of the I-270 Mississippi River Bridge, we are creating better paying jobs, expanding access to regional travel and spurring economic growth for communities across the state.” Construction of the bridges has been overseen by

I-70 widening moves forward on 44-mile Missouri stretch

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. Millstone Weber also is delivering the program's Columbia-to-Kingdom
