June 5, 2025 Update

Design of the Rosland Park Pedestrian Bridge continues. A great team of structural engineers, architects and a bridge fabricator are working on the project to ensure we are the most efficient with our time and better understand construction costs. The project is at a design milestone. It is approximately 30% designed. This means we can submit the 30% plans to MnDOT to start the discussion of requirements over Highway 62. This will be a unique discussion because of the decorative architecture panels. The estimated project cost was updated. Recall the project has a $6 million budget, all state funds. Construction costs and unknowns are increasing and affecting the budget. The project will mostly likely not be able to afford stairs features or be able to bury the overhead power lines. The cost estimate will be revisited after our discussions with MnDOT. Thanks, Chad Millner, City Engineer.
