More than it would have been since they built it so fast, but I think it came in on budget. An order of magnitude less complex than the Dig though. From WIKI:

The replacement of the collapsed I-35W Mississippi River bridge crosses the Mississippi River at the same location as the original bridge, and carries north-south traffic on Interstate Highway 35W. It was constructed on an accelerated schedule, because of the highway's function as a vital link for carrying commuters and truck freight.[163]

Mn/DOT announced on September 19, 2007, that Flatiron Constructors and Manson Construction Company would build the replacement bridge for USD $234 million.[164]

The I-35W Saint Anthony Falls Bridge was opened to the public on September 18, 2008, at 5 a.m.[165]
