MoDOT To Kick Off Construction for Route 100 Widening Project in Washington, Missouri

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.
