MoDOT to hold informational meetings on I-70 Missouri River Bridge project
Drivers who might be affected by the rehabilitation project on the Interstate 70 bridge over the Missouri River near Rocheport scheduled for next year will have a few chances to ask questions.
The Missouri Department of Transportation will be holding informational meetings through July to provide details, answer questions and address concerns regarding the project.

After an inspection, the bridge is rated in poor condition. The planned rehabilitation project will include driving surface sealing, expansion joint replacement, partial painting, and steel structure repairs to extend the life of the bridge an additional 10 to 15 years. It is estimated to cost $18 million.
The project is scheduled to be put out for bids in early 2020, with construction starting in early spring 2020.
