Missouri plowing first estimate reaches $5.5 million.

Missouri plowing first estimate reaches $5.5 million.


MoDot has said that the first estimate for plowing Missouri highways after the icy blizzard that has halted nearly the entire state is roughly $5.5 million.  They have also said that they will continue to plow and salt the roads even if they have to use all of their $42 million budget.  Modot is here to make the roads as safe as possible and if the budget is used up entirely they will cut back on spring and summer projects.

I never knew the real numbers involved with MoDot and I will have to honestly say that I really figured that it would cost more to take care of the highways in Missouri.  Then again there are some pretty bad roads in the state.  I guess now that I know what their budget is I can understand why some of the roads are in the condition their in.  I think maybe it's time to find some more money to budget in for the highway departments throughout the state.
