Site work, paving, new construction and addition to a bridge / tunnel in Minneapolis, Minnesota. Conceptual plans call for the addition of a bridge / tunnel; for the construction of a bridge / tunnel; for site work for a bridge / tunnel; and for paving for a bridge / tunnel.

UPDATE :Replace Bridge #27542 along Pioneer Trail (CSAH 1) over the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail in the City of Eden Prairie. Purpose & Description: The existing bridge (built in 1975) is classified as structurally deficient based on the condition of its primary structural elements. The current width is approximately 48' wide and provides one vehicle travel lane in each direction, along with a painted median and an approximately 8' wide shoulder on each side. The bridge superstructure consists of continuous steel beams that are aging, but are in relatively fair condition. The bearings supporting the superstructure are in very poor condition and restrict thermal movement. Since the bridge cannot expand and contract, the deck and beams have experienced accelerated wear and deterioration. This condition has reduced the anticipated service life of the structure. This project will provide a full replacement of Bridge #27542 over the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail. The configuration of the new bridge is anticipated to provide a dedicated space for multimodal users along the north side. This multimodal facility will connect to the Minnesota River Bluffs LRT Regional Trail that includes a trail entrance within close proximity to this bridge. Also, it's anticipated that this project will introduce adjustments to the roadway configuration to provide a dedicated left-turn lane for people driving who wish to access Trails End Road. Furthermore, it is anticipated that the new bridge will be designed to provide a 75-year (or greater) service life. This project was awarded federal formula funding through the Metropolitan Council's 2022 Regional Solicitation.
