Summary
[edit]
| Description |
English: Built in 1930, the Vicksburg Old Highway 80 Bridge is a one-of-a-kind structure listed in the National Register of Historic Places. For many years, it was the only bridge over the Mississippi River where highway and railroad tracks ran side by side through the truss structure. However, with only nine-foot wide highway lanes, safety became an issue, and the bridge ended vehicular access in 1988.
Today, the Kansas City Southern Railway Company (KCS) and Norfolk Southern (NS) continue to operate freight rail service on the train track side of the bridge, while pedestrians and event booths primarily use the opposite side. With its importance to ongoing rail operations, the bridge needed a safety inspection, and our bridge inspection team was brought in to provide capacity load rating, underwater investigation, and other inspection services. www.stantec.com/en/projects/united-states-projects/v/vick... The Bridge opened on February 14, 1973. The Vicksburg I-20 Bridge is a cantilever bridge that crosses over the Mississippi river from Delta, Louisiana to Vicksburg, Mississippi. It is a four Lane Highway Structure 1-20 / US 80. Traffic: Vehicle 35,000/day Length: 12,974 feet (3,954 m), 7 spans, (Longest Spans ,1870 feet (265 m) Width 60 feet (18m). The customer, Concurrent Technologies Corporation, DOD, and US Army Corps of Engineers chose ChM4 Inc. as the System Integrator to design, install, and monitor the system due to the vast experience in optical sensing systems. www.chm4.com/vicksburg-bridge |
