The Bridge - Selected Design
 
 

From 30+ to 15 to 6...
And, Finally, THE Design Is Chosen

For 18 months, from February 2000 until July 2001, the Illinois and Missouri Departments of Transportation worked with citizens and officials from throughout the St. Louis region to identify a world-class design for a new Mississippi River Bridge north of downtown.

The current re-evaluation process is taking another look at the bridge design to see if cost reductions can be realized while maintaining its capacity, safety, and adequacy.  The resulting structure will remain a cable stayed design and will be a striking presence on the Mississippi River.
