The Southwest District’s Kaysinger Basin Bridge Bundle will replace or rehabilitate up to 25 poor-condition bridges in west central Missouri and bring them up to current standards. The majority of these bridges are on two-lane rural routes. These bridges connect and serve the communities and citizens of rural west central Missouri in Bates, Benton, Cedar, Henry, Hickory, St. Clair, and Vernon. On average, these bridges have been in place for 70 years.

  1. Safely deliver the project within the programmed budget of $38 million.
  2. Maximize the number of locations to be addressed while providing quality, low-maintenance structures and roadway approaches.
  3. Minimize impacts to the public through diligent construction efforts, flexibility in scheduling, and proactive communication.
  4. Deliver the project utilizing a diverse workforce.
  5. Complete the project on or before November 15, 2027
