The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission has selected the Radmacher-Ideker Joint Venture team as the Design-Build contractor of the third project in MoDOT’s Improve I-70 Program.
The joint venture team consists of contractors Radmacher Brothers Excavating Co., Inc. and Ideker Inc., with designers Wilson and Company, Inc.
Improve I-70: Blue Springs to Odessa is a $350 million fixed-cost contract that will add a third lane in each direction and make other improvements to Interstate 70. The Design-Build contractor team has also committed to extending the third lane in both directions nearly seven miles past the project requirements.
The project includes the following improvements:
- Constructing a third lane of I-70 in both directions beginning just west of Missouri Route 7 in Blue Springs to approximately Missouri Route H.
- Replacement of the existing I-70 lanes with all new full-depth concrete pavement.
- Improved I-70 interchanges at Missouri Route D in Bates City and at Missouri Route 131 in Odessa.
- 14 new bridges.
Construction is scheduled to begin this summer, and the team has committed to keeping two lanes of traffic open in each direction during peak travel times. The project is anticipated to be completed by late 2028.
