MoDOT to Discuss U.S. 61 Expressway Study at Hannibal High School: Local Residents Invited

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) will hold a public meeting on February 21, 2024, at Hannibal High School. The purpose is to discuss the U.S. 61 EIS Re-Evaluation Study, currently in two phases. Attendees can learn about the study's initial findings and give their feedback. However, no construction funds have been allocated yet.

The meeting will be an open house format, without a formal presentation. Attendees can interact with the project team and give their feedback at any time during the meeting.

For those unable to attend in person, MoDOT will provide an online option. The same information and exhibits will be available on the project webpage. Participants can access this information on any device and submit their comments electronically.

Public comments for the U.S. 61 EIS Re-Evaluation Study will be accepted from February 21 to March 8, 2024. The U.S. Route 61 Expressway, running through Hannibal, Missouri, is a key part of the Avenue of the Saints corridor between St. Louis, Missouri, and Minneapolis/St. Paul, Minnesota. The project team has reviewed potential improvements to this expressway.

The main goal of any proposed improvements is to manage increased travel demand and improve safety on U.S. Route 61 in Hannibal.
