The Missouri Department of Transportation now has a presence on YouTube to help the public visualize new transportation concepts, better understand potential transportation options or safety efforts and view a history of some projects.
MoDOT recently posted four new videos about highway and bridge projects, highway safety and other progress as promised on YouTube at http://www.youtube.com/modotvideo. "YouTube helps us explain our work in a visual way," said MoDOT Director Pete Rahn. "People go to YouTube to see interesting videos, and we're doing some very interesting things we want to show them."
New videos include:
-
A flyover animation of the future landmark Mississippi River Bridge-St. Louis;
- Footage of the rapid construction of the Jefferson Street Overpass-Jefferson City;
- MoDOT Saving Lives and Reducing Injuries-a synopsis of MoDOT and the Missouri Coalition for Roadway Safety's initiatives to reduce fatalities and injuries on Missouri roads; and
- SRI from MoDOT One Year Ahead of Schedule-a synopsis of MoDOT completing the work to make 2,200 miles of Missouri's major highways smoother and safer, sooner.
There are also several other MoDOT videos available, showing how dedicated truck lanes would work, dramatic footage of the Route 19 Missouri River Bridge demolition, guard cable crash tests and an aerial view of the ongoing construction on the new I-64 in St. Louis.
