ABOUT THE BOOTHEEL BRIDGE BUNDLE
The purpose of the Bootheel Bridge Bundle project is to repair or replace fifteen of the bridges on the Southeast District’s asset management plan. The Missouri Department of Transportation anticipates beginning the procurement process on this approximately $22 million design-build project in early 2020. One design-build team will be selected to design and construct the project.
Thirteen bridges in the Bootheel Bridge Bundle are included in Governor Mike Parson’s “Focus on Bridges” program passed by the Missouri General Assembly during its 2019 session. The program appropriated $50 million in state general revenue to fund 45 high priority bridge projects throughout the state.
Bootheel Bridge Bundle Project Goals
- Deliver the project within the program budget of $22 million on or before December 31, 2023.
- Use innovation to maximize the number of locations to be addressed while providing quality structures sensitive to location and traffic.
- Minimize public inconvenience through increased construction speed and flexibility in scheduling.
- Improve safety at each location.
