Missouri to replace 40 bridges with federal grant

The Missouri Department of Transportation will now be able to replace 40 bridges in northern Missouri after an announcement that Missouri has received a $20.7 million dollar federal grant through the U.S. Department of Transportation's Competitive Highway Bridge Program.

This grant will provide aid to rural roads and bridge relief north of highway I-70. Only 25 states were eligible to apply for the $225 million in funding from the Competitive Highway Bridge Program - those with a population density of 100 or less per square mile.

The Missouri Department of Transportation intends to pursue a design-build contract to carry out work on the bridge's reconstruction.
