To Build a Bridge


Mayor Funkhouser cited the building of the Sprint Center and the rebuilding of the I-35 Bridge in MN as examples of projects that took less time than the closure of the BRB is guesstimated. FYI, the bridge in Minneapolis collapsed on Aug 1st, 2007. It will be completed soon, see latest from today's Minneapolis StarTribune.
"MINNEAPOLIS - Construction crews working on the new Interstate 35W bridge said Saturday that the bridge could be completed even earlier than expected.
Flatiron Construction officials say that the bridge could be complete in as early as 10 days and that workers are putting the final touches on the new bridge."
It should be noted, healthy performance incentives are in place to complete the project which originally had a completion date of 24 December, 2008.

But AT&T was not contracted for the utility work in the Twin Cities bridge project.
