MoDOT Kicks Off FTEIS for Future I-70 Kansas City Metro

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) and the Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) propose improving the I-70 Corridor from the last ramp termini east of the Missouri – Kansas state line to east of the I-470 interchange, including the entire Kansas City, Missouri Downtown Central Business District Freeway Loop. This portion of I-70 spans approximately 18 miles (20 miles including all segments of the Loop). The proposed improvements will meet current and future, safety, and access needs within the corridor. The I-70 First Tier Environmental Impact Statement (FTEIS) will:

• Provide an overview and description of the Study Area,
• Identify the current and future needs,
• Determine potential improvement strategies to address those needs,
• Evaluate the human and natural environmental effects of the strategies developed, and
• Identify a preferred strategy and sections of the corridor that can further evaluated in the Second Tier Studies.
