WELCOME
RECENT POLICY CHANGES IN THE EPG
Clarkson Construction employees reconstruct the existing interchange at I-435 and Rte. 210 in Kansas City. The new diverging diamond interchange will help traffic flow when completed in late 2018. The project will use over 60,000 sq. yards of new concrete pavement, move over 140,000 cu. yards of earth and construct two new bridges on I-435 over Rte. 210.
Lehman Construction Company progresses in its construction of the Chestnut Expressway Railroad Bridge over the Burlington Northern-Santa Fe tracks in Springfield. The $14.8 million project is expected to be completed in late 2017.

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 late June, the numbers of hits are:
20. EPG 136 160261  10. EPG 751.5 218202
