technically they are city roads and the city owns them but MoDOT maintains them...

How often do you drive I-70?
I take 70 to 54 to get to LOTO about every other weekend in the summers. Before 54 and 70 were improved in the mid 90's we used to take 44 to union and then take hwy 50. Back then it took 3hrs to get to the lake and now you can do it in 2-2.5hrs.

The last few times we've gone to the Lake of the Ozarks I've used the I-44 route from the city. Even with 54 being 4 lanes all the way now I-70 just has too much traffic.
But if your trying to go from St. Louis to Columbia (Mizzou) or St. Louis to Kansas City, there are no other options besides I-70.
STL Public Radio - Stenger Outspent Dooley To Win But Big Spending Failed To Help Transportation Tax
http://news.stlpublicradio.org/post/ste ... tation-taxAmendment 7's big spending meant little
Meanwhile, the biggest spender on Aug. 5 was arguably the biggest loser.
Backers for the proposed statewide transportation sales tax, officially known as Amendment 7, spent $4.2 million in their failed bid to persuade Missouri voters to approve a ¾-cent increase in the state’s sales tax for 10 years. The money had been earmarked for highways, bridges and mass transit.
Amendment 7 still lost badly at the polls. The winning opposition group, called Missourians for Better Transportation Solutions, spent just over $23,000. That was 1/183 as much as the losers.
