We have no resurfacing scheduled for northbound I-270 in that area. If there are places where pavement repair would be useful, we will look at those areas; in addition, our team will patch any potholes that would spring up, as they are reported, or we see them. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

I assume you are asking about Natural Bridge? The decision to not construct this proposed mid-block location was not taken lightly and resulted from listening to the concerns brought to MoDOT and the City of St. Louis from the community working through their local elected officials that do not want the proposed safety improvements at these locations. At one of the BOA member's request,the mid‐block crossing proposed for east of Kingshighway will not be constructed with this project. We continue working with the city and local elected officials as we continue through the project. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communication

Given modot owns and manages thousands of miles of roads and bridges, we seem to always be playing a game of "catch up" when it comes to inferior infrastructure. How is MoDOT going to allow for money and time being dedicated to more innovative transit features - ITS, smart cities, integration of autonomous vehicles, etc. etc.. Especially over the next couple years as state and federal funding may be decreased due to pandemic relief.

MoDOT continues to strive to use the resources it has been allocated by the citizens of Missouri to the best of the department's ability, and work with our legislative partners to encourage funding for those items that cannot be funded through the gas tax, registration fees and licensing fees. For more, you should take a look at our helpful citizen's guide to transportation funding: https://www.modot.org/citizens-guide-transportation-funding-missouri.Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications

MoDOT, and every other DOT, shares the best practices of how to get the most benefit for every dollar. Any program that makes sense (and can work within the framework of the resources provided to the department) is considered. Andrew Gates, MoDOT Communications
