MoDOT To Kick Off Construction for Route 100 Widening Project in Washington, Missouri PDF Print E-mail
Friday, 06 June 2008
On Friday, June 6th, 2008 at 1:00pm, MoDOT representatives, among others, will be in Washington, Missouri to kick off the construction project which will widen Route 100 to four lanes from Washington, Missouri to Interstate 44.  The event will take place at the commuter parking lot near the intersection of Route 100 and South Point Road.
 
MoDOT District Engineer Ed Hassinger will be the Master of Ceremonies. Officials scheduled to speak at the ceremony include: Duane Michie, Chairman of Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission; Pete Rahn, Director of Missouri Department of Transportation; Richard Stratman, City of Washington Mayor; Peggy Barnhart, office of US Senator Kit Bond; Jenni Riegel, office of US Congressman Kenny Hulshof; State Senator John Griesheimer; State Representative Brian Nieves; State Representative Kevin Threlkeld; Ed Hillhouse, Presiding Franklin County Commissioner.
 
The following is from a MoDOT release on the project.
The Route 100 Widening Project is a cost-share partnership between MoDOT and the City of Washington, which has been awarded to Millstone Bangert for approximately $21.1 million. Route 100 from Interstate 44 to Route 47 has exceeded its capacity for a two-lane roadway and can no longer handle the amount of traffic that uses it on a daily basis. MoDOT has identified traffic congestion and safety as the major transportation issues of concern. In 1972, Route 100 between Interstate 44 and Route 47 was rebuilt to provide a straighter alignment and improve visibility at intersections. In 2003, the roadway was resurfaced. The current average daily traffic count is 16,000 vehicles per day. By 2020, that volume is expected to nearly double to 30,000 vehicles per day.
