The Missouri Department of Transportation and the City of Washington invite the public on Saturday, July 10 to celebrate the opening of the new lanes on Route 100 between Interstate 44 and Route 47 in Washington. A walk/bike event will be held at 8 a.m., (rain or shine), and a ribbon cutting ceremony at 10:30 a.m., near St. John's Road (rain or shine). Prior to the ceremony, the Washington Brass Band will play music near the ribbon cutting. The new lanes on the highway will tentatively open on Monday, July 12, weather permitting.

If you plan on attending the celebration, dress for the weather and keep in mind the following tips:
  • The highway celebration event is open to the public and media from 8 a.m. to Noon. 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. Parking is limited, so please carpool.
  • A walk and bike event will take place on the new Route 100 lanes at 8 a.m.
    • Pedestrians can walk on the highway between St. John's Road and Jones Lane.
    • Cyclists can bike between St. John's Road and Route M. If you are bringing your bikes to the highway, do not stop in a traffic lane near cars to unload your bikes. Please park in the designated area to unload your bikes.
    • No motorized vehicles will be allowed in these areas.
  • The ribbon cutting ceremony will begin promptly at 10:30 a.m., near St. John's Road.
  • There will be no food or beverages available on the highway. Event attendees cannot bring coolers, alcohol or any kind or glass containers onto the highway.

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 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.
