QUESTION OF THE DAY: Are Interstate 70 improvements worth the traffic headaches?

The Improve I-70 Project, which will make Interstate 70 at least three lanes statewide, is in full swing.

A lot of that work has been taking place in Mid-Missouri, where the existing road is being widened from two lanes to three. Part of that project is eliminating the exit ramp onto Business Loop 70 from westbound I-70.

The ramp has been closed for some time now. But this weekend, crews will remove it. Since the ramp crosses over the eastbound side of the interstate, that's where the worst traffic impacts will be.

This is merely one of scores of traffic headaches Mid-Missouri drivers will deal with during the long project. But for many, the results will be worth it.

Are you one of them? Let us know by voting in the poll.
