Biden says he doesn't know if he watched his debate performance... yikes. Looking at when MODOT plans to start some local projects and monitoring flash flooding in the area. A Missouri murderer is looking at being paroled and we recap last week's delegate drama for Randy.

Missouri's governor and state lawmakers in both parties like State Reps. David Tyson Smith (D-Columbia) and Jim Schulte (R-New Bloomfield) will be in Columbia in about an hour for this morning's 10 o'clock groundbreaking ceremony for the $405-million I-70 project between Columbia and Kingdom City. This morning's ceremony takes place at the Drury Plaza hotel near Columbia's I-70 and 63 interchange. Governor Mike Parson (R) and state Highways and Transportation Commission chairman W. Dustin Boatwright of Cape Girardeau will speak at the ceremony, which will be close to the interstate. The state Department of Transportation (MoDOT) plans to add an additional lane to I-70 between the Highway 63 connector in Columbia and Highway 54 in Kingdom City. MoDOT project director Jeff Gander tells 939 the Eagle that the work will begin after the Fourth of July east of Columbia. City spokeswoman Sydney Olsen tells 939 the Eagle that Mayor Barbara Buffaloe, fourth ward councilman Nick Foster and fifth ward councilman Donald Waterman plan to attend this morning's ceremony, along with Mr. Seewood. Governor Parson joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri", describing today as a big day. He talked about the decision to use state dollars, specifically general revenue, for this project. We also discussed the $50-billion state operating budget approved by state lawmakers. Governor Parson tells listeners that the next governor will likely have to do a supplemental budget. We also asked him if he'll have to call a special session this summer or fall:

Recapping Hunter Biden's legal woes, as he's found guilty on some gun charges. A Missouri inmate is executed, and MODOT cuts one of their programs for an interesting reason.

The Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) is warning about significant delays, when improvements start in a few weeks on Jefferson City's aging tri-level and on Highway 54. MoDOT says crews plan to narrow busy Highway 54 to one lane in each direction from the Senator Roy Blunt bridge in Jefferson City to Missouri Boulevard starting in mid-June and continuing through early September. MoDOT engineer Randy Aulbur joined us live this morning on 939 the Eagle's "Wake Up Mid-Missouri," telling listeners that the work is needed for preventive maintenance. MoDOT says 86,000 vehicles a day come through the tri-level area, with three major highways (Highways 54, 50 and 63) converging in the same area. MoDOT says the tri-level bridges were built in 1964 and that the “flyover” bridges were built in 1991. Mr. Aulbur tells listeners that the bridges need work. He's urging you to be patient and says MoDOT will be displaying message boards:

Some upcoming Jefferson City roadwork collectively ticks the whole show off. A business catches some internet scrutiny over its response to June's Pride Month.
