Saint Anthony Parkway Bridge Construction
March 29, 2016
At the end of March, project engineers visited Industrial Steel Construction (ISC) in Gary, Indiana to view the new bridge’s structural steel fabrication. Portions of the bridge currently being fabricated include the 300 foot long main span truss. The approach span steel girders are already fabricated and are awaiting shipment to the project site. The fabrication and preliminary assembly of the truss and approach spans is on schedule and approximately 75% complete.
The structural steel (truss and approach girders) will continue to be partially assembled at ISC in the Gary, Indiana fabrication shop until Late Spring 2016. Then, it will be disassembled and trucked to Minneapolis in summer 2016. After delivery, the truss will be re-assembled on St. Anthony Parkway, just west of the crossing, and then launched out over the railyard into place. The launching of the new truss is anticipated to take place in January of 2017.
