Bridge Design

Murphy Boulevard & Cox Street
Joplin, MO

 Tristate Engineeing is designing three new box culverts bridges at two locations along Joplin Creek and one location on Willow Branch.  Those locations include 4th Street, 5th Street and Murphy Boulevard, and 5th and Cox Streets.  TSE will also design the new channel lining along Joplin Creek to provide erosion control.  The City of Joplin will use STP federal bridge 80/20 matching funds and the MoDOT local public agency (LPA) procedures will be used for this project.  The replacement of the RCB across Murphy Boulevard will allow for HS-20 loading, making Murphy Boulevard legally capable of carrying truck route load limits.
