There were many goals of the competition and all five of the plans are of grand scale.  You can view the designs on the website or at one of the 3 remaining traveling exhibits.  Many have differing opinions regarding the best design but nearly everyone I talk to believes something needs to be done to “attach” the arch to the city.

Details of the announcement have not yet been released.

Many of the overpasses along the route will be closed this year.

There are many concerns however it appears that the Missouri Department of Transportation has done their due diligence and is providing alternative routes and plenty of information located at www.thenewi64.org.  You will also be able to get information at www.gatewayguide.com which should be fully functional by summer 2007.  MoDOT’s toll free line is available at 888-ASK-MODOT and the I-64/Highway 40 project line 314-524-9191 and you can get a live response.

Look for further announcements as further tools and information become available.
