- The program will replace or rehabilitate more than 800 of MoDOT’s most worn-out bridges. A single team of contractors will be selected to perform the work. A large number of local subcontractors will be needed with project sites spread all over the state.
|
|
|
|
|
| |
- The team will bring all the bridges up to good condition by the end of 2012 and will maintain them in good condition for at least 25 years.

- The use of one team to design and build the entire project is particularly effective on large, complicated projects that offer significant opportunities for innovation in order to save money and speed completion. MoDOT has legal authority to initiate three Design-Build projects. I-64 in St. Louis and the kcICON (Paseo Bridge) in Kansas City are the others.
