MoDOT proposes highway upkeep program

Missouri has the nation's seventh largest state highway system with 33,859 miles of roadways and 10,385 bridges, but ranks 48th nationally in revenue per mile.

The draft also includes detailed project information for non-highway modes of transportation and also includes a section detailing planned operations and maintenance activities for the next three years. The proposed program is available for public review.
