K.C. STAR: MoDOT Says Work On I-70-I-435 Interchange To Begin Later This Month

In a story today on the KANSAS CITY STAR Web site- the Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) announces that work to re-construct the PITA I-70/I-435 interchange near the Truman Sports Complex will begin later this month

Starting a major freeway reconstruction during the WINTER is a smart move (NOT!)..

Here's another bulletin: The Clarkson Construction Company- the ONLY bidder on this project- is also going to replace the Blue Ridge Cutoff ("George Brett") bridge over I-70 and- according to the STAR's story- "Work will not be done during the baseball season.

Let's see- the baseball season runs from April to October- about the same time as the construction season.

Smart....
