Abstract:

This paper addresses cross-cutting topics associated with the replacement of a regional Mississippi River crossing along the Great River Road. The breadth and depth of issues define the ease with which transportation problems can be solved. In the St. Cloud, Minnesota, metropolitan area, the Sauk Rapids bridge replacement has generated a myriad of these issues. When applied to a river crossing replacement of metropolitan significance, broad-based representation from the community (defined as residents, business owners, elected officials, and transportation professionals) is essential. Engaging and educating this cohort has ultimately fostered consent in the selection of the preferred replacement alternative.
