URS has been awarded a two-year contract, with the option for a two-year extension, by the 2699 Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) to provide operations and support services for the Gateway Guide Transportation Management Centre (TMC) located in St. Louis, Missouri. The centre monitors over 350kms interstate utilising nearly 500 sensors and 250 traffic cameras in the St. Louis Metropolitan Area. During non-business hours, Interstates 44 and 55 statewide are also monitored. Congestion and incidents along the interstate are managed through messages on 100 dynamic message signs throughout the metropolitan area. The Gateway Guide TMC also coordinates closely with the Illinois DOT District 8 TMC located in Collinsville to manage traffic on the Mississippi River Bridges.
