(KLZA)-- Missouri- transportation system includes 33,825 miles of roads and 10,387 bridges. The system ranks among the largest for any state in the nation.

The Missouri Department of Transportation working with its statewide regional planning partners have identified $1 billion in annual unfunded needs. From the broader unfunded needs, MoDOT has developed a High Priority Unfunded Needs list to guide the development of projects into funded projects as state and federal transportation funds increase.

The public is invited to a meeting to discuss the draft updated High Priority Unfunded Needs list for transportation in Northwest Missouri. The meeting will be held from 1 to 3 p.m., Tuesday, Nov. 29, 2022, at East Hills Public Library located at 502 N. Woodbine, St. Joseph.

The meeting will be held in the library- lower-level theater. An elevator is available.
