An informational meeting for two MoDOT intersection improvement projects in Livingston County will be held July 22nd at the Home of Sliced Bread Welcome Center at 100 Elm Street in Chillicothe. The meeting will be from 4:00 to 6:00 pm to discuss intersection improvement projects on Livingston County US 36 at both Mitchell Avenue in Chillicothe and at Route B near Wheeling.
The meeting will allow the public to share their thoughts and concerns about the project designs and to provide comments, either directly to the engineers or through a comment form. No formal presentation will be made.
The US 36 & Mitchell Avenue project is being designed to improve traffic flow and reduce crash points at the existing crossover by adding a J-turn to the east of the current crossover and improving the US 36 and 65 intersections. The existing intersection would be restricted to left turns only.
The US 36 & Route B @ Wheeling project is being designed to improve the intersection and reduce crashes by realigning westbound US 36, making entrance changes to Wheeling Cemetery, installing 10-foot shoulders, extending the eastbound left-turn lane, adding a westbound right-turn lane, and improving drainage and grading.
If you are unable to attend the open-house meetings, two other opportunities for public comment are available through Wednesday, Aug. 5, 2026.
