Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission Approves Northwest Bridge Bundle Recommendation

The Missouri Highways and Transportation Commission approved the recommendation of the Capital – Horner & Shifrin team Wednesday, December 6, for the design-build contract to replace or rehabilitate 31 poor-condition bridges in north central Missouri through the Northwest Bridge Bundle project.

Design-Build is a project delivery method in which one contracting team is selected to design and build the highway improvement under one contract.

MoDOT provides the project goals, budget, and schedule, and the contractor completes the work.

As part of their proposal, the Capital – Horner & Shifrin team has developed a plan to replace or rehabilitate the 13 priority, required bridges along with 18 alternate bridges in Carroll, Chariton, Linn, Livingston, Mercer, Putnam, and Sullivan counties.

The next steps in the design-build project include executing a contract, developing a schedule of work, and beginning final design plans.

Work on all bridges is expected to be completed by December 31, 2026.
