this just popped up on our construction bid lead services
Re: New Broadway Bridge
I wonder if that's the remake of the "alphabet soup" of exits? Potential stimulus project?

Re: New Broadway Bridge
That big square building at 4th and Broadway was constructed fairly recently. I'm surprised they aren't taking down the Landmark Lofts too, since it will be an island surrounded by viaducts when the new bridge is done. Who will want to live there in basically an interstate interchange?

Re: New Broadway Bridge
Can we get some stimulus dollars for this.
Re: New Broadway Bridge
According to Twitter, the American Jobs Act's transportation funding will be competitive (like TIGER/BUILD):

We'll need a compelling application, but we've done well in previous rounds -- KC has received three grants from TIGER/BUILD.
Re: New Broadway Bridge
There’s a 100% chance modot tries to dump their responsibility onto the Fed’s right?
Like no one thinks we’re going to get anything better?

Re: New Broadway Bridge
But doesn't the state have to finance part of the project to get matching federal dollars?

Applications for 8, 60ft tall drilling rigs have been submitted to, and determined for approval by, the FAA. I'm only posting the link to one application since they're all the same.

Re-undermining of the Broadway Bridge. 2010 survey of the riverbed at Broadway Bridge
2010 survey in red. Riverbed around the Pier 2- Caisson Foundation was almost completly eroded away.

Re: New Broadway Bridge
I’m assuming with this you’re trying to suggest that the bridge shouldn’t be kept as the bike/ped connection. If so, I want to point out that engineering studies like that are based around the bridge’s continued use as a traffic bridge, which is a far heavier use than people walking or biking

Re: New Broadway Bridge
Riverbed scouring is a function of flow and sheering in the river bed. Not really connected with the bridge traffic.
Re: New Broadway Bridge
That is really terrifying. Was anything done to try to counteract this for continued use? Has the new low cost design new bridge taken this problem into account? I know the Army Corps channeling has increased and narrowed the flow, but this is also probably inherent to the site, the deeper channel on the south approaching solid limestone being a reason for a river town being born. What causes the scouring around the caisson when it is not in the deepest part of the channel? How many submerged caissons are in the new bridge design? Would a clear span from bank to bank be safer in the long run(albeit much more expensive)?
Looks like the drilling rigs are moored over the new bridge caisson site.
