Jared,
You're right; the MODOT site says no construction.
But here's the link fro the traffic site on the CH 5 website. It show slow
I-44 traffic in the Grey Summit/HW100/HW50 area any time of day. Nice that
these sites are consistent with each other.
It looked like they were adding a 3rd lane in the median out to HW 50 so the
passing lane was closed with work trucks and construction. Maybe on weekends
all lanes are open.
