Lunda/Ames Looks Like Low Bidder on St. Croix Bridge Superstructure
The Wisconsin and Minnesota departments of transportation are still evaluated the companies' $380 million bid.
Ladies and gentlemen, we may have a winner.
The departments of transportation in Minnesota and Wisconsin jointly announced Friday an apparent low bidder for building the superstructure of the new St. Croix Crossing bridge: Lunda/Ames Joint Venture.
Besides the hybrid box box-girder/cable-stayed "extradosed" bridge, the state agencies said in a statement that the work includes:
- Ramp bridge from Highway 95 to the river crossing (south of main bridge)
- Ramp bridge from the river crossing to Highway 95 (north of main bridge)
- Highway 36 box girder approach bridge
- Connecting structure between the river bridge and the Highway 36 approach bridge
The final cost for this part of the project will likely be less than $380 million, Chiglo told the St. Paul Pioneer Press, which reported the other bidders and approximate bids as: St. Croix Constructors Kraemer-Obayashi Joint Venture ($393 million) and PCL Civil Constructors Inc. ($461 million).
