https://theconstructionbroadsheet.com/tutor-perinis-lunda-wins-million-minnesota-bridge-contract-p1796-175.htm Tutor Perini Corporation said Thursday that the City of St. Paul, Minnesota, has awarded its subsidiary Lunda Construction Company with an approximately $53.6 million contract for the replacement of a city bridge and associated infrastructure. The total project cost, including demolition, according to the city, is $92.4 million. The 1980s-era Third Street-Kellogg Bridge, according to the city, is an important connector for residents and typically saw traffic of almost 14,500 vehicles per day when all of the span's four lanes were open. However, since 2014, traffic has been restricted to three lanes and a single six-foot-wide sidewalk since September 2014 in order to keep weight off of structurally deficient areas of the bridge. The inadequacies of the current bridge, St. Paul officials said, prevent it from meeting the future needs of the community as well as the city's plans for more multimodal options, including bus rapid transit. Tutor Perini said Lunda's scope of work includes: A new bridge with four lanes of traffic – two in each direction; A concrete barrier-separated trail on both sides of the roadway, with each 12-foot-wide trail able to accommodate bicycles and pedestrians; Reconstruction of two intersections to improve safety and accessibility for pedestrians and vehicles, as well as bus rapid transit service. Tutor Perini said Lunda is expected to begin construction in the third quarter of this year and reach substantial completion in the fall of 2027. St. Paul officials said the length of the timeline takes into consideration several factors including: multiple intersections, busy railroad tracks under the bridge, a road that must stay open so that crews have access to power and sewer, special protections and work methods related to underground utility tunnels and potential flooding from the Mississippi River. ____________________________________ City of Saint Paul Public Work Department is looking for bids on Kellogg-3rd Bridge reconstruction project Q And A Close: 04/24/2024 02:00:00 PM State Project No. 000-000-000 B—1203
