I-229 Moving Forward

The I-229 double-decker bridge is a unique piece of St. Joseph infrastructure that has served the community since it was completed in 1986. After completing an Environmental Assessment (EA), it was determined that the double-decker bridge will be removed and replaced with an at-grade four-lane roadway (raised where needed for flood resilience).
