and west of Bryan Road. Several volunteers collected more than 47 of the over 84,000 bags of litter from Missouri's roadways, streams and other public areas.The purpose of the Adopt-A-Highway program is to provide community support for litter prevention and highway beautification efforts.
The Missouri Department of Transportation is responsible for maintaining about 385,000 acres of right of way. Much of this consists of the roadsides along the highway. Because of this large task, MoDOT started the Adopt-A-Highway program in the fall of 1987.
The program allows the public to become personally involved in improving our environment and helping to keep Missouri's roadsides beautiful.The adopted portion of Highway 70 extends 1/2 mile east and west of the Bryan Road overpass on both sides of the interstate.
