MoDOT seeks public input on future of Route 47 in Franklin County

FRANKLIN COUNTY - The Missouri Department of Transportation will host a public meeting on Missouri Route 47 on Tuesday, September 24 from 4 p.m. until 7 p.m. at the Union Community Center. The center is located at 1329 Union Ave, Union, MO 63084.

The purpose of the public meeting is to provide the public and stakeholders with the opportunity to provide comment and learn about the conceptual study that spans from Missouri Route 47 from Route 100 in Washington through Union to Interstate 44 in St. Clair. This study is a critical step to preparing for future projects on Missouri Route 47 in Franklin County and gathering input to ensure the Purpose & Need reflects the identified needs of roadway users.

As part of the Statewide Transportation Improvement Program (STIP), MoDOT budgeted an estimated $75.7 million for the construction of the safety and congestion improvements along the Route 47 corridor in Washington, Union, and St. Clair. Congestion is a major concern along the corridor. The study will involve analyzing areas of the corridor such as Route 50/Route 47.

Guests will have the opportunity to learn more about the study and submit questions and/or concerns during the meeting. An online copy of the survey will be available up to two weeks after the meeting to submit comments.
