It’s an arch-style bridge, repeating the past two river bridge designs.

New Hastings High Bridge

The design cost came out about $100 MILLION lower than the MNDOT estimate. I suspect this is because the arch isn’t quite as huge as we might have expected. I think the proposed appearance looks fine.
