Tonight for the 5 and 6 pm shows, a fellow reporter and I tackled some road improvement plans around Columbia. I spoke to MODOT (Missouri Department of Transportation) about one specific project that is underway in the East Columbia area. I went live from the current end of Stadium Boulevard as it intersects HW 63, and the plan is to connect this part of Stadium from HW 63 to I-70. If the plan is approved, it will improve traffic conditions significantly for residents who frequently travel in this area. MODOT recently finished an environmental study of the area and they are looking to do some detailed aerial mapping of the extension site before construction plans are finalized. Overall the project aims to improve infrastructure, add connectivity and help residents travel faster and easier through East Columbia.
