WELCOME
RECENT POLICY CHANGES IN THE EPG
Area Engineer Beth Schaller talks to Monett area residents about replacing an old Bus. 60 bridge over the BNSF railroad, east of town, with a higher and wider structure. The $3.7 million project is scheduled to begin the week of June 19 and Hartman & Company, Inc. crews expect to reopen Bus. 60 by the fall.

MoDOT has made great strides to build a good transportation system and increase taxpayers' trust in its ability to deliver what was promised. Innovative concepts, such as Practical Design and design-build, were used to deliver those commitments and have made MoDOT a leader in the transportation industry.

These forward-thinking, innovative concepts are reflected in the ENGINEERING POLICY GUIDE (EPG). This document provides a single reference for all engineering and engineering-related guidance by combining the former Right of Way, Design, Bridge, Construction, Traffic and Maintenance manuals.

MediaWiki, the engine behind the Wikipedia on the World Wide Web, is the software delivering the EPG. Over 40 million hits on the EPG endorse this format to be easy to navigate and pleasing to read. A small HELP ARTICLE is included to assist with helpful hints on how to use the EPG as well as other points of interest.


Perhaps you've wondered how many hits the most popular EPG articles have. As of early June, the numbers of hits are:
