Major upgrades coming to four miles of I-70 downtown in Kansas City

A three-year, $237 million project will upgrade four miles of I-70 from Highway 71 to US 40, starting later this month. Allan Ludiker, I-70 project director for MoDOT, says construction will begin from Paseo to US 40 Highway. The project will add a fourth eastbound lane from Prospect to the Manchester Avenue bridge, aiming to speed up the evening commute.
