I-70 paint striping scheduled for Sunday

Missouri Department of Transportation crews will paint stripes on I-70 in Cooper, Boone and Callaway counties beginning Sunday.

Weather permitting, stripe painting will take place during overnight hours for up to three weeks, according to a MoDOT news release. Motorists can expect a slow-moving caravan of trucks with flashing lights, boards with flashing arrows and signs that say "Wet Paint."

The wet paint is water-based, so motorists that get paint on their vehicles are advised to clean their cars as quickly as possible with a high-powered water hose such as those used in car washes.
