These grants are a result of Schmitt’s push for DOT to deliver critical funds to support Missouri communities. “Missourians depend on strong and reliable transportation infrastructure to go to work, provide for their families, and grow their businesses. This funding will help connect Missouri to more major roadways across the nation, reduce traffic delays, and promote economic development and tourism. Additionally, this year’s BUILD Awards are doing exactly what federal funding is meant to do: help Americans and strengthen our communities. Instead of funding fraud and illegal scams, Missourians’ tax dollars are actually being reinvested into their own state and communities. This is an enormous win for the people of Missouri, and I’m thankful for the Trump Administration’s continued support for the Show Me State,” said Senator Schmitt. $1,200,000 for Poplar Bluff South Connector in Butler County $18,000,000 for Belton to America in Cass County $9,055,200 for I-29 Corridor Improvement Project in Clay County $23,500,000 for Phase II of Route MM Widening from I-44 to Haile St in Greene County $9,369,473 for Multimodal Transportation, Connectivity Restoration, and Stormwater Mitigation in Sullivan County DOT’s 2026 BUILD Awards will provide cities and counties across Missouri with $61 million in funding for a variety of projects, including expanding roadways, connecting key infrastructure and major roadways, and making safety and quality-of-life improvements. ### | 1 | 2026-07-08T07:27:19Z | 2026-07-08T07:28:28Z |
