The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission gave approval March 19 to the final list of transportation projects to be funded by economic recovery funds. The transportation improvements are expected to directly or indirectly support 22,000 jobs.

"This final list of economic stimulus projects is all about putting Missourians to work fast," Missouri Department of Transportation Director Pete Rahn said. “The process for choosing these projects was very complex, and it took a great deal of effort to meet all of the legislative and federal provisions, plus the MHTC funding distribution policies. The end result is a fair distribution of projects throughout the state that will support jobs and boost our economy.”

The project package totals $577 million, slightly more than the $525 million MoDOT has left to spend. That’s because the department built in additional money to ensure it will qualify for redistribution of funds from other states if they become available. The list of projects and a map showing their location can be found at Missouri Department of Transportation.
