Apparently, input from the public is an expensive part of the process that would save money to cut out . . . Riiiight. Here's the important part from The Star: "The state is using a different process from how most Missouri highways are built, the answers won’t be known until the contract is awarded Nov. 14.
The project calls for upgrading or replacing the 53-year-old Paseo Bridge and widening four miles of Interstates 29/35 from the Northland into the interstate loop around downtown.
Missouri usually builds highways by designing the project, putting it out for public comment and then bidding it to a construction company. For the Paseo, the state is wrapping the construction and design into one $245 million contract."
