New I-70 interchange plans to be presented

Posted
Proposed plans for a new Interstate 70 interchange at Route MM in Warrenton will be presented at a public meeting next month.The proposed interchange will be constructed approximately two miles west of the Route 47 interchange.The city of Warrenton will host an open-house style public meeting from 4 p.m. to 7 p.m. Wednesday, Jan. 4, at the Warrenton High School Common Area, 803 Pinckney Road, in Warrenton.Visitors may come and go at any time during the open house. The meeting will allow the public to give input and make comments, either directly to the city or in written forms, on the proposed recommendations and possible impacts. Engineers will be on hand to discuss what improvements are currently planned as part of the project. MoDOT representatives will be available at the public meeting.Maps, preliminary plans, environmental documentation and other detail information will be available to review at Warrenton City Hall. Written statements and exhibits will be made a part of the public meeting record if received within 10 days after the date of the meeting.The Route MM and I-70 Interchange project will extend Route MM from its current terminus at the South Outer Road to the North Outer Road and construct a new interchange with Interstate 70. Construction of the project is expected to begin in 2017 and be completed in 2019. The interchange is proposed to be funded with revenue from a new sales tax that was approved by Warrenton voters in August 2016.Once the project is completed, MoDOT will assume ownership of the interchange. Additional information is available on the city of Warrenton website, www.warrenton-mo.org/.
