I-70 among country’s worst commutes

A new study of automobile commutes finds that I-70 in Kansas City is the 58th worst commute in the country, being congested 47 hours a week. The worst spot on I-70 is eastbound at Van Brunt, thanks to the bottleneck where I-70 drops to four lanes under I-435.

Fortunately MoDOT is rebuilding the entire I-70 and I-435 interchange, with six full lanes on I-70. Unfortunately there is still no real progress on regional public transit to increase express buses or add commuter rail in the I-70 corridor.
