4 A Sampling Of Rail-Specific Projects n Route 150 & KCS Railway Bridge, Missouri Department of Transportation/ Kansas City Southern Railway A new railroad bridge was constructed for Kansas City Southern Railway over Route 150 which allowed the Missouri n Bridge Replacement over Route 71, Kansas City Southern Railway Bridge 21.71(B22) for the Kansas City Southern Railway replaced an existing bridge over Route 71 with a 481-foot, Department of Transportation to lower the existing Route 150 roadway. To keep rail and highway traffic unimpeded, the new superstructure was constructed ten feet above the final grade. During an eight-hour window, the bridge was lowered into position; the track was laid across the bridge and reconnected at both ends. single-track, seven-span bridge. The spans included a 100-foot thru-plate girder, three welded plate girders and three concrete voided slab spans on drilled shafts and a cast-in-place superstructure. The spans over the highway were erected at night in fifteen-minute traffic delay windows. A three-span box girder bridge over Martha Truman Road including the embankment and sub-ballast were also part of the contract.

5 n Iatan Bridge Replacement, Kansas City Power & Light/BNSF This $1,600,000 project in Weston, Missouri, constructed a BNSF Railroad Bridge on KCP&L s main track for coal deliveries to the power plant. The Owner permitted a ten day closure with associated major n Gooseneck Retaining Wall, Kansas City Terminal Railway A combination soldier pile wall with rock anchors and secant wall was constructed penalties of $41,000 per day. Construction of the bridge was extremely time critical to the Owner as this negated the ability to receive coal during the outage. Clarkson Construction worked around the clock and had the track open in 4 1/2 days, well ahead of the planned outage. The project consisted of a 460 foot BNSF bridge with 16 bents of precast concrete beams and caps supported by HP 14x117 piling. 12,000 cubic yards of excavation was required to construct the bridge along with removing and replacing 1200 feet of rail and ties. to eliminate a bottleneck at an old bridge abutment and to restore the integrity of the existing stone wall. This work required close coordination with the Railway as the removal of the existing retaining wall was within eight feet of the tracks. A temporary falsework platform was constructed to position the drill rig for construction of the rock anchors.
