New Bridge Opens on I-70 | Jefferson City News

Missouri’s DOT is set to unveil its newest bridge—the St. Charles Road span over I-70—on Monday, August 10th at 10:30 AM near the Lake of the Woods exit. Built to replace a 1957 structure, this modern upgrade features wider lanes for big rigs and sidewalks for pedestrians, essential as part of the state’s plan to widen nearly 200 miles of I-70 from Blue Springs to Wentzville by end of 2030. Traffic won’t open immediately after the ribbon-cutting; weather permitting, the bridge will open ahead of schedule. Visitors can park nearby at the Super 8 shopping center and follow MoDOT staff to the site safely. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
