A proposed new Mississippi River Bridge has been designed four lanes wide.
Plans include:
A new, 4-lane, I-70 Mississippi River Bridge with design accommodations for a companion bridge to be built in the future.
A partial interchange in Missouri with existing I-70 near Cass Avenue.
Improvements at the I-55/64/70 Tri-Level Interchange in East St. Louis to accommodate ramp connections to and from I-55/70.
A roadway connection between the existing I-55/64/70 Interchange and the new bridge along the I-64 Connector alignment.
Design firm Crawford, Murphy & Tilly, Inc., has been selected to design the interchange on the Missouri side of the new bridge.
