The Missouri Department of Transportation is scheduled to hold a virtual open house from 5:30 p.m. to 7 p.m. on Wednesday, August 11, to discuss the construction of the new I-70 Missouri River bridge near Rocheport.

In July, the Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission selected the Lunda Team as the design-build contractor for the project. Project plans are now being finalized, and construction is expected to begin later this year.

MoDOT staff and representatives from the Lunda Team will give a presentation that will provide more details on the project and be available for questions from those in attendance. The presentation will be repeated approximately every 20 minutes, and will include renderings of what the bridges will look like, construction timelines, details on the replacement of the Route BB interchange and where motorists and residents will first see work on the project.

Participants can log on or call in, and all participants will have the opportunity to ask questions. Those joining on their computer also will be able to type in questions via the Question & Answer option, and a member of the project team will respond.
