Bridge projects

Bridges over state highways carrying railroads

Scoring criteria for projects to rehabilitate or replace bridges carrying railroads over state highways. Out of 100 possible points, 70 points are based on the condition of the bridge, 15 points are based on vertical clearance, and 15 points are based traffic volume.

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 over state highways that carry railroads are scored and prioritized statewide with input from district staff. 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. Projects may move years based on local coordination, project delivery, timing of other nearby construction projects, and funding shifts.
