WELCOME
RECENT POLICY CHANGES IN THE EPG
Demolition of the old Platte Purchase Bridge is underway. The new US 69 Missouri River Bridge, which is replacing it, is partially open.
Clarkson Construction Company crews pour concrete for the new Grand Ave. bridge over I-670 in downtown Kansas City. The project is expected to reopen Grand Ave. to traffic by Dec. 1.
The Rte. 50/63 Lafayette Interchange was dedicated in a ribbon-cutting ceremony with Boys & Girls Club of Jefferson City, Lincoln Univ. (MO) Army ROTC, Lincoln Univ. (MO), Jefferson City Public Schools, Quinn Chapel AME Church Jefferson City, Mo., Sen. Mike Kehoe, City of Jefferson, Missouri, Central Dist. Engineer David Silvester and many others.

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 30 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 December, the numbers of hits are:
