“This is the first DDI constructed within MoDOT’s Northeast District.  This project includes several upgrades within the immediate area designed to improve traffic flow.  The new diverging diamond design of the interchange also features improved safety for pedestrians and cyclists with a dedicated shared-use path and signalized crosswalks.  The area improvements to the transportation system will serve the needs of the community well into the future,” stated Area Engineer Jeff Niemeyer.

Questions regarding the ceremony may be directed to the Northeast District Communications Manager Gerri Jeffries at gerri.jeffries@modot.mo.gov.
