The State of Missouri plans to spend $33 million to expand truck parking availability along Interstate 70.
The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission (MHTC) recently announced it has selected the KCI Construction Team as the apparent best-value proposer and design-build contractor for Improve I-70: Truck Parking, included in MoDOT’s Improve I-70 Program.
This project will improve I-70 truck parking locations at Concordia, Boonville, Mineola, and Wright City. Negotiations to finalize the contract are currently in progress.
The improvement project includes:
- 255 additional truck parking spots, totaling 506 available public truck parking stalls across the I-70 corridor
- Bathroom remodels at the Wright City and Concordia locations.
- Lighting upgrades at all locations.
Construction is scheduled to begin this fall. Total project completion is anticipated in late 2028.
MoDOT's Improve I-70 Program includes about $33 million in federal INFRA Grant funds to expand availability of truck parking along the I-70 corridor. Over 10,000 trucks utilize I-70 daily and during peak hours, all of I-70’s public truck parking areas are over capacity and 75% of private truck stops are over capacity.
Presently, there are nearly 2,000 privately owned truck parking spaces along the I-70 corridor, in addition to the public truck parking spaces this project provides.
