The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission recently approved the Missouri Department of Transportation’s (MoDOT) FY2022-2026 Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP).
The STIP includes 228 bridges, 704 lane miles of interstate pavements, 1,387 miles of major route pavements, and 2,733 miles of minor route pavement projects that are planned by state and regional agencies between July 1, 2021, and June 30, 2026.
Projects average $1.1 billion annually.
“The STIP is our commitment to Missourians of the projects that will be developed and delivered over the next five years,” MoDOT Director Patrick McKenna said. “This STIP represents the investment the Commission made several years ago to focus on asset management, including more funding available for minor and low volume minor roads. Over the next three years, 50% of all state minor and low volume minor roads and bridges will be worked on. Overall, the STIP includes an estimated $5.5 billion over the next five years in projects spread out across the state on interstates, major and minor roads, and bridges.”
The STIP also includes a section detailing planned operations and maintenance activities for the next three years and detailed project information for non-highway modes of transportation.
In May, MoDOT released a draft of the STIP for public feedback.
