FRANKLIN COUNTY, MO – The Missouri Department of Transportation is seeking public input regarding possible impacts to the Dr. Henry A. and Amalia Uhlemeyer Access to the Bourbeuse River. These impacts are related to the interchange improvement project at I-44 and U.S. 50.

As part of the project to improve the I-44 and U.S. 50 interchange, MoDOT is considering ways to enhance motorist safety and extend the lifespan of the I-44 bridge over the Bourbeuse River.

To support these improvements, the project may impactAlso, due to the proximity of construction to Uhlemeyer Access, temporary closures of both the access road and river entry are possible during certain phases of the project.

MoDOT is seeking feedback from community members and local stakeholders to better understand how this work may affect access and to minimize impacts wherever possible. 

The project is currently scheduled to be awarded to a design-build contractor in Spring 2027, with construction beginning in Fall 2027. At this time, MoDOT is still in the early phase of collecting public comments, and changes to Dr. Henry A. and Amilia Uhlemeyer Access have not been confirmed or finalized.
