Calls for urgency over deadly stretch of I-70 amid $2.8B infrastructure funding

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:58:41 GMT

WENZTVILLE, Mo. – A project that’s been in the works for decades received a shot in the arm Monday as Governor Mike Parson signed a $2.8 billion bill for the planned statewide expansion of Interstate 70.That includes a part of the interstate in Wentzville that some call the deadliest.Capacity, safety, and reliability are what MoDOT and its partners say sit at the forefront of the improvements they hope to make to the highway. While signs are pointing to serious advancements with the project that would redesign stretches of I-70, residents are just wondering why there wasn’t more urgency for the stretch of highway known as the S curve, which they say is one of the most dangerous parts of the road within the entire state.“Just beyond 20, I was driving home from work from Lambert Airport, when I came to the railroad bridge S-turn behind McDonald’s, I saw a large flash,” said Joe Tebo, a 45-year resident. What he saw next would haunt him for years to come.“There was a college girl sitti...

Austin Gomber injured, Ronald Acuna tackled in Rockies’ ugly 14-4 loss to Braves

Published Sun, 16 Feb 2025 15:58:41 GMT

When Rockies manager Bud Black said Monday afternoon that he was as content as he’d been all season with his pitching rotation, he was referring in large part to Austin Gomber.“Since the All-Star break, been pretty consistent,” Black said of his starters. “With the exception of a game or two here and there, all the games have been close. … That’s a reflection of our starting pitching, and maybe a little bit of our lack of run production.”Consistency collided with bad luck hours later at Coors Field.Gomber exited in the third inning of his start with an apparent injury, and the Rockies lost 14-4 in the series opener to the MLB-best Atlanta Braves, officially securing a losing season.

The left-hander pitched at least six innings in eight of his previous 11 starts, maintaining a strong 3.50 ERA during that s...
