The Missouri Department of Transportation and the City of Washington, Missouri announced Wednesday that a ribbon cutting ceremony will be held on Saturday, July 10 to celebrate the opening of the new lanes on Route 100 between Interstate 44 and Route 47 in Washington, Missouri. The actual opening of the new lanes will be weather dependent.

A walk and bike event will take place on the new Route 100 lanes at 8 a.m., between St. John's Road and Jones Lane. The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m., within this section of highway. The public and the media are invited to attend both events. The new Route 100 lanes will remain closed during the events. Event attendees can enter the new lanes near St. John's Road where they will be directed by flaggers to park along the new westbound lane.

For more information on the walk/bike event and ribbon cutting ceremony on Saturday, July 10, contact Kara Price, MoDOT Community Relations, at 314-453-1810 or This e-mail address is being protected from spambots.

The Route 100 Widening Project is a cost-share partnership between MoDOT and the City of Washington, and awarded to Millstone Bangert for approximately $21.1 million. This project consists of two additional lanes on Route 100 from Interstate 44 to Route 47. The widening project is expected to be complete in July 2010.

The widening of Route 100 will improve the capacity and safety of the highway for Franklin County motorists.   Route 100 from Interstate 44 to Route 47 had exceeded its capacity for a two-lane roadway and could no longer handle the amount of traffic that uses it on a daily basis. MoDOT 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.
