Public participation and input are crucial
ingredients in the
success of modern-day highway projects.The Illinois
and Missouri Departments of Transportation are committed to
bringing the best transportation improvement project possible
to the St. Louis, Missouri and Southwestern Illinois areas.
A quality program of community engagement is helping these
agencies accomplish this task.
A number
of community-based committees
have worked with IDOT, MoDOT, the Project Management Consultant
and the bridge design team to address regional and community
issues relative to the project and to the new bridge design.
These committees have been instrumental in many project decisions,
and in selecting the world-class, signature bridge that will
help define the region’s skyline for generations to
come.
The community input stressed during the design phase will continue through project construction. Neighborhood meetings, presentations, ad hoc committees, newsletters, this web site and other methods will work to ensure that information is exchanged with the public as project decisions are considered and made.
