I-35W Bridge over the Mississippi: May 28, 2008

Crews hang first pair of main-span segments on I-35W Bridge project On Sunday, crews began the main-span erection process, hanging the first pair on the northbound approach on the south side of the river. A large crowd was on hand to watch the placement from the 10th Avenue Bridge. Placement of the segments is a precise procedure involving hydraulic jacks and detailed surveying to have the segment within one-sixteenth of an inch of computer modeling. Crews wait several days before the next segment placement to allow time for the closure pour (between the main span segment and the approach span), concrete curing and post-tensioning work in preparation for the next segment placement. The next pair is expected to be erected mid-week this week.

Demolition work on north end of I-35W

Crews have begun demolition of the old road bed on the portion of I-35W at the north end of the casting yard (on the south side of the river). This work will involve the use of equipment to break up the old roadway so it can be rebuilt. As a result, significant thumping noise may occur. This work will take place between 7 a.m. and 9 p.m. and could last as long as four weeks.
