			* The MoDOT Work Zone Impact Analysis Spreadsheet was updated in EPG [[616.19_Work_Zone_Capacity,_Queue_and_Travel_Delay#616.19.2_Interstate,_Freeways_and_Multi-lane_Roadways\|616.19]] to provide links to the new MUTCD nomenclature. The cost of truck and car per hour has not been updated for several years and the amount was increase based on Transportation Planning group. One equation was miscalculating the cost of queuing vehicle and was fixed.

All protective vehicles in the lane will require TMAs on their vehicles. Currently, MoDOT only allows law enforcement. Revisions are based on difficulty in getting enough law enforcement due to lack of personnel, and the potential of law enforcement being called away at any time.		* Re-titling to Traffic Pacing/Rolling Roadblock in EPG [[616.19_Work_Zone_Capacity,_Queue_and_Travel_Delay#616.19.7_Traffic_Pacing/Rolling_Roadblock\|616.19.7]] and makes modifications to allow rolling roadblocks by MoDOT and contractor vehicles rather than restricting to law enforcement.

	* Streamlining ground mounted signposts in accordance with the engineering study by Horner and Shifrin in EPG [[903.16_Design_Aspects_of_MoDOT_Signing#903.16.3_Types_of_Fabricated_Signs\|903.16.3 and 903.16.4]].		* Streamlining ground mounted signposts in accordance with the engineering study by Horner and Shifrin in EPG [[903.16_Design_Aspects_of_MoDOT_Signing#903.16.3_Types_of_Fabricated_Signs\|903.16.3 and 903.16.4]].
	* Updating various EPG articles and specification sections regarding galvanized bolts. Fabricators, inspectors and consultants recommended galvanizing bolts, nuts and washers in accordance with ASTM F2329 instead of ASTM A153. AASHTO material specification dropped AASHTO M 298 and recommended use of ASTM B695 for a mechanically galvanized option. In some areas, AASHTO M232 or ASTM A153 remains until internal processes are updated to coincide with ASTM F2329. Clarifications to galvanization process for structural steel and usage of galvanized bolts were added. EPG articles included are 614.2.1, 712, 751.36, 751.50, 901.18, 902.28, 903.22, 1023.2, 1040.2.2.		* Updating various EPG articles and specification sections regarding galvanized bolts.
