April 9th Groundbreaking for New I-55 Lanes in Jefferson County

On April 9th, MoDOT will hold an official groundbreaking for adding one lane each way in the median of I-55 between Route M and Route Z.

Given the large amount of traffic that uses this route, even in the off-peak hours, this is a much needed improvement. Due to funding concerns, the extra lanes will not be going as far as ultimately planned - I-55 is supposed to stay four lanes each way down to the Herculaneum Exit.
