To
celebrate the new NW Cross Road Bridge in Platte County, Mo a ribbon cutting was
held on January 11. Taking part in the celebration was GBA’s Jon Karst along
with Platte County’s Public Works Director, Planning and Zoning, Special Roads
District, County Commissioner and County Engineer. Several residents who live
nearby were also present for the ribbon cutting.
GBA was selected to provide
design and critical point construction inspection for Parkville Special Road
District’s only bridge. The bridge is a single span steel girder 60 foot
crossing. Many of the residents were excited for the new bridge because the
previous bridge was a low water crossing and presented a safety hazard during
rain events. The new bridge is designed to carry traffic over the 100 year
flood elevation. The only concrete in the bridge is in the deck and barrier
railing, and the girders are constructed from weathering steel to minimize
future maintenance.
