Title: Ozark Development Highway System
Post by: bugo on September 24, 2012, 01:12:07 PM
Why isn't there one of these?  The Ozarks are impoverished in places and new expressways in Missouri, Arkansas, Kansas, Oklahoma, and possible western Tennessee, Kentucky, and southern Illinois would be nice.

Funding?? MoDot just cut their budget in half and Arkansas can't afford to maintain the roads they currently have

When Mike Beebe leaves office and stops building his personal driveway (US 67), you might have better luck.

I was thinking the four-laning of US-60 across Missouri was a huge start.

Missouri seems to be more "take no prisoners"  than Arkansas' "we don't want to hurt the farmers"

Missouri would have built US 63 as a 4 lane divided expressway.
