In 2026, the state is preparing for its Route 66 Centennial and the FIFA World Cup in Kansas City, driving massive upgrades to the I-70 “Improve” Project. For the traveler, Missouri offers a unique “Choose Your Own Adventure” logistics profile—where historic riverboat transit meets modern, tech-enabled highway corridors.
