SIKESTON-The Missouri Department of Transportation will hold a public meeting from 4 to 6 p.m. Tuesday, Jan. 27 to discuss replacing signals and improving the intersection of Route 84 at Main Street and Kennett Street in Kennett, Missouri. The meeting will be held in the Kennett City Council Chamber at 200 Cedar Street. This safety improvement project includes updating the outdated signal equipment, improving accessibility for pedestrians and enhancing efficiency. The pedestrian improvements are part of MoDOT’s initiative to bring roadway facilities into compliance with the current standards of the Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA). The proposed project includes reconfiguring the direction of parking and traffic on the west side of the Dunklin County Courthouse. Currently, traffic moves in two lines to the south. The proposed project would reverse the direction to the north, and traffic would move in a single line. This would improve efficiency at the signal by allowing one less phase. The improvements will feature a crossing in front of the courthouse to enhance pedestrian visibility, as foot traffic is common in this location. In addition, a larger island will be constructed southwest of the courthouse at the Route 84/Main Street intersection to help mitigate potential driver confusion. Tentatively, the project could be let in March 2027, with construction beginning as early as May 2027. Once construction starts, work will be underway for approximately three months. During this time, motorists should anticipate lane closures with flaggers in place to guide traffic through the work zone. The public meeting will be open-house style, and visitors can stop by anytime between 4 and 6 p.m. For more information, please contact MoDOT Project Manager Seiji Shimbo at (573) 472-5389 or MoDOT's Customer Service Center toll-free at 1-888-ASK MODOT (275-6636). MoDOT is committed to providing equal access for all participants. If you need a reasonable accommodation, please contact Shimbo (573-472-5389) or MoDOT’s Customer Service Center (1-888-275-6636) by Wednesday, Jan. 21.

The Access Missouri Grant is Missouri’s primary program for assisting low-income individuals and can help pay for a variety of education and training opportunities.Access Missouri provided more than $82 million to over 44,000 Missourians during the 2024-2025 academic year. There is no formal application process for the Access Missouri Grant. Eligibility for the program is determined using the information provided on the FAFSA, and awards are available to anyone who qualifies, regardless of age or career goals. Access Missouri can also be combined with other federal and state aid, such as the Pell Grant, to help cover the cost of attendance.“The Access Missouri Grant supports Missourians who may feel additional training or education is out of reach due to costs,” said Dr. Bennett Boggs, Commissioner of the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. “This opportunity can help provide an affordable pathway to those in need, ensuring even more Missourians have the education and skills needed to compete for quality jobs and future success.”Any Missourian considering college or a training program should file a FAFSA to maximize their financial aid and higher education opportunities. The FAFSA is a standard form that helps determine eligibility for federal student aid, such as federal grants, loans, and work-study opportunities. Colleges also use this information to determine what institutional-based aid individuals are eligible for. In Missouri, a FAFSA is required to be considered for most state financial aid opportunities, including Access Missouri, the A+ Scholarship Program, and the Fast Track Incentive Grant.“Filing a FAFSA early opens the door to federal and state financial aid opportunities, including the Access Missouri Grant,” said Leroy Wade, Deputy Commissioner of the Missouri Department of Higher Education and Workforce Development. “There is no cost to file a FAFSA, and doing so helps ensure financial barriers do not stand in the way of Missourians who are interested in earning a degree or credential to invest in their future success.”Individuals who file their FAFSA after the February 2 priority deadline may still be eligible for an Access Missouri award if they file before April 1, subject to available funding.More information about Access Missouri, including eligibility requirements and possible award amounts, is available on the MDHEWD website. To learn about other Missouri grants and scholarships, federal grants, and grants and scholarships offered by schools, visit dhewd.mo.gov/ppc/grants. Specific student eligibility information can be found in the DHEWD Student Portal.Students and parents can also visit Journey to College to learn more about the FAFSA and explore helpful resources, including frequently asked questions, a FAFSA checklist, steps to creating an FSA ID, and more. Students who need help filing their FAFSA can attend a nearby FAFSA Frenzy event or contact the department’s Outreach Team at journeytocollege@dhewd.mo.gov.  https://www.modot.org/node/82433 82433 at https://www.modot.org Tue, 20 Jan 2026 09:50:02 +0000 Reminder: MoDOT public meeting on Nodaway County U.S. Route 71 intersection improvement project Visitor (not verified) Tue, 01/20/2026 - 09:50 ST. JOSEPH, Mo. – The Missouri Department of Transportation is administering a project in partnership with Evergy, Inc. to improve the intersection of U.S. Route 71 and 340th Street ahead of the construction of a new natural gas plant south of Maryville. This project is currently scheduled to go out for contractor bids as a part of MoDOT’s April 2026 letting. To improve traffic flow, reduce crash points, and accommodate increased traffic during construction, the recommendation is to replace the existing crossover with J-turns. With a J-turn, motorists will no longer cross multiple lanes of fast-moving traffic. Drivers at a J-turn intersection turn right in the same direction of traffic, merge into the passing lane, and then make a U-turn in the direction they intend to travel.  An open house-style public meeting will be held tomorrow, Wednesday, Jan. 21, 2026, at the Maryville Public Safety Training Room (101 N. Vine St., Maryville). Attendees are welcome to come any time between 4-6 p.m. to view plans and speak with project leaders from MoDOT and Evergy, Inc. There will be no formal presentation. This meeting will enable the public to share their thoughts or concerns about the project plans and provide comments, either directly to the project leaders or comment forms. If you are unable to attend the open house, two other opportunities for public comment are available through Wednesday, Feb. 4, 2026.
