WARREN COUNTY - The Missouri Department of Transportation will begin narrowing eastbound Interstate 70 lanes in two locations between Warrenton and Foristell as part of the Improve I-70 Warrenton to Wentzville Project. All work is weather permitting and schedules are subject to change.
Traffic impacts on eastbound I-70 will include the following:
The Improve I-70: Warrenton to Wentzville is the second project in MoDOT's Statewide Improve I-70 Program and will add a third lane of travel in each direction to I-70 from Warrenton to Wentzville. The project includes the Improve I-70 funding and additional legislatively designated General Revenue funding. It also includes previously allocated funds in the state's program for other I-70 and I-64 projects, for a total contract of $600 million.
Missouri's FY2024 budget, approved through the state legislative process and signed into law by the governor, provides $2.8 billion in General Revenue to build a third lane of I-70 across the state. The program will plan, design, construct, reconstruct, rehabilitate, and add a third lane in each direction on nearly 200 miles of I-70, from Blue Springs to Wentzville.
