Stretches of Missouri roadways are available for businesses and groups wishing to help with roadside cleanup. Area Engineer Brian Untiedt says all the materials needed are provided, and it’s not a massive committment of time.

Untiedt also says that one-mile stretches of road may not be available in the same direct area as the group or business adopting a highway, but that the designated area will generally be easy to reach. The work is also beneficial for both MoDOT and the state.

Untiedt also mentions that adopting a highway is a great way to get free advertising or publicity for your group or business. To check on available areas near you, visit their website, www dot mo dot dot o r g (www.modot.org), or call 1-888-ASK-MODOT.
