(KTTS News) —  First Interstate 70, now Interstate 44?

Work begins this summer on the expansion of I-70 across Missouri, and improvements to I-44 might not be too far behind.

In his final State of the State address, Governor Parson announced more federal funding for the I-70 expansion project.

Congressman Sam Graves recently secured another $90 million in federal funding for the project.

Parson said the state has done a great job on its own of coming up with money for the project.

He now wants to use some of the savings to help refurbish I-44. 

“We’re announcing our recommendation to establish the I-44 Improvment Fund,” Parson said. “That’s right, we aren’t just laying the foundation to expand one intertate across our state — but two interstates.”
