The Missouri Department of Transportation’s Safe & Sound Bridge Improvement Program is a two-phase program to improve 802 of the state’s lowest-rated bridges by Oct. 31, 2014.

Some 248 bridges have been identified for rehabilitation, and at least 100 of those will be under construction in Spring 2009. They are being put out for bid in groups according to location, type or size to expedite the design and construction process.

The other 554 bridges are scheduled for replacement and have been packaged in a single Design-Build contract. The procurement process to select a team to perform the work has begun.
