History
Since the mid-1990’s the City of Rolla and MoDOT have been studying a variety of major transportation improvements to the area’s primary transportation system – Hwy 63/Bishop Ave, Hwy 72, Kingshighway (Bus Hwy 72) and Interstate 44. In 2002 MoDOT completed an Environmental Impact Statement which evaluated a number of alternatives to a “Rolla by-pass.” The Rolla City Council gave an endorsement of the EIS focusing primarily on upgrades to existing corridors with a new Hwy. 72 extension between I-44 and US 63 and ultimately a 5th I-44 interchange south of the existing Kingshighway Interchange.
