West Gordon Street Bridge Replacement

Kinsley replaced the dilapidated West Gordon Street bridge, where it crosses Jordan Creek, with an integral abutment, single-span bridge on a pre-drilled steel H-pile foundation. The bridge was replaced in two phases.

Description

Phase I included:

  • A new stormwater management system, including excavating 16 feet down along two blocks of roadway
  • Demolition of three-quarters of the existing bridge to leave a portion open to pedestrian traffic
  • Partial construction of the new bridge

Phase II included:

  • Demolition of the remaining bridge
  • Completion of the new bridge
  • New curbs, sidewalks, bridge railing and barriers

Our scope also included stream diversions for each phase of the project.
