Wrap: Senator Mike Kehoe proposed a new bill allowing the Missouri Highway and Transportation Commission to partner with private companies to reconstruct I-70.
This would allow these companies to create a toll road.
Kehoe says creating a toll road isn't the only option.

| Description: "Projects like this are going to have to become part of Missouri's transportation conversation, whether this is the solution, or whether we come up with another solution. Something has to be done." | |
Partnering with private companies means voters will not have to approve this plan.
