The Missouri Department of Transportation has completed a Location Study Report (LSR) identifying a need to improve the Route 45 corridor in Platte County. Route 45 has exceeded its capacity, causing increased congestion, and traffic delays to occur within this corridor. The purpose of the Route 45 improvement project is to construct a safe, efficient, economical, and environmentally sound transportation facility that meets the identified needs for Route 45 from Routes 9 to K.
