Missouri truck lanes approved but lack funding

Missouri truck lanes approved but lack funding

A proposal to separate trucks from cars on I-70 across Missouri remains high on the state’s wish list but low on funding.

The Federal Highway Administration has cleared the project for approval according to a spokeswoman.

But like most states, the Missouri Department of Transportation lacks funding – in this case an estimated $4 billion to construct two additional lanes in each direction from Kansas City to St. Louis.

“Funding is a big issue for us. There’s just not a lot of funding out there to move forward on major projects like this,” MoDOT Spokesman Steve Porter told Land Line.

That doesn’t mean MoDOT intends to give up.

MoDOT Outreach Program Coordinator Bob Brendel said MoDOT is preparing to apply for $200 million in federal stimulus funds to construct a 30-mile demonstration project in Saline and Cooper counties.

Just give all the cars that end up in the truck lanes $1000 tickets. It'll pay for itself.
