Concrete will be placed in 21m sections in an operation that will use a total of 1,338m3.

The cable-stayed bridge bridge is part of a Missouri Department of Transportation (MoDOT) project called kcICON, which is upgrading interstate connections. Contractor for the scheme is Paseo Corridor Constructors, made up of Clarkson Construction, Massman Construction and Kiewit Construction with' Parsons Transportation Group and TranSystems Corporation.

"Missourians have entrusted MoDOT with $245 million to maximise every dollar on this project and get it built as quickly as possible" said kcICON project director Brian Kidwell. "Design-build project delivery enables our contractor to continue to find ways, like this single, widest deck pour, to save time and complete the project on schedule by July 2011."
