Exit Interview With MoDOT Director - MoDOT Funding Crisis & Consequences | KCUR
Headlines are quick hits from media outlets from Missouri and around the world. Follow the headline link for the full story. The source of this headline says:
On what it means for Missouri roads and highways if a $325 million budget comes to pass in 2016:
The real crux of it is that for $325 million a year in construction we cannot take care of a 34 thousand mile system. What I proposed to the highway commission, which they adopted just a couple of months ago, was a "325 Plan", which identified 8000 miles of primary roads that we will invest the $325 million in to keep those roads in a state of good repair.
The remaining 26 thousand miles we will only do limited maintenance on: plow the snow, those kinds of things, patch potholes, but we will not be able to do capital improvement. There just is not enough revenue. As a matter of fact we’ve already got 5 bridges in our state that are closed today.
