Non-National Highway System bridge projects

MnDOT District 2

Scoring criteria for non-national highway system bridge projects. Out of 100 possible points, 50 points are based on the condition of the bridge, 20 points are based on the risk of service interruption, 20 points are based on the remaining service life of the bridge deck, and 10 points are based on the size of the bridge.

Learn more about how MnDOT evaluates and selects bridge and culvert projects

MnDOT scores bridge condition needs when selecting projects to include in the 10-year Capital Highway Investment Plan. Bridges that carry roads on the National Highway System (NHS) are scored and selected separately from bridge needs off the system. MnDOT’s approach to managing bridge condition follows the guidance and targets in the Transportation Asset Management Plan and the planned outcomes in MnSHIP.

Non-NHS bridges are scored statewide, but prioritized within each district. The selection of bridge projects is informed by district staff, experts from MnDOT’s bridge office and the Bridge Replacement and Improvement Management System (BRIM).

Once selected, MnDOT then identifies and evaluates alternatives and other needs, legal requirements, issues and opportunities in coordination with local partners, and considers public input. In the process, non-bridge work may be added to a bridge project or a bridge project may be combined with a nearby pavement project. The department follows a context-sensitive complete streets approach, which considers the needs of all users. The final project may address a substantial number of needs beyond the bridge need that precipitated the project. Projects may move years based on local coordination, project delivery, timing of other nearby construction projects, and funding shifts.

How the projects scored

The construction costs shown on this list represent a very rough estimate based on limited information available at the time selection decisions were made. Actual construction and delivery costs will change over time as projects go from a concept through the project development process and are eventually constructed.
