The Missouri Department of
Transportation has selected HNTB
Corporation to design the new
Mississippi River Bridge between
Illinois and Missouri in St. Louis.
"We had a number of excellent design
proposals from design firms around
the region," said Greg Horn, the MRB
Project Director. "It was extremely
challenging to select our design
team from all those who offered
proposals."
As part of the selection process,
interested design firms submitted a
proposal. The Missouri Department of
Transportation (MoDOT) and the
Illinois Department of
Transportation (IDOT) project
representatives evaluated each
proposal on a number of criteria, to
include the firm's past
performances, team experience and
the team's understanding of the
project's goals. The six firms with
the highest-rated proposals were
then brought in for an interview
with MoDOT and IDOT engineers to
help determine the best design
candidate.
