MoDOTs 15th Annual Bridge Building Competition POSTPONED

Alternate Date to Be Announced

Due to the threat of inclement weather, the Missouri Department of Transportation’s 15th Annual Bridge Building Competition will be postponed. The event was originally scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 15 at Southeast Missouri State University’s Academic Hall Auditorium in Cape Girardeau, Mo.

The competition challenges high school juniors and seniors to design and construct the most efficient model bridge using limited materials—15 pieces of balsa wood, thread and glue.

“We are pleased to have so many participants and know the students put a lot of work into their model bridges,” said Senior Highway Designer Anita Clark. “We will be happy to put their bridges to the test as soon as better weather is in the forecast.”

MoDOT is currently discussing alternate dates to hold the competition. Additional details will be released prior to the bridge breaking ceremony.

“MoDOT values safety, and we wanted to proactively provide information to participants and sponsors who travel to the competition,” Senior Highway Designer Gretchen Hanks.

For more information, please contact Clark at (573) 472-5294, Hanks at (573) 472-5294 or MoDOT's Customer Service C
