History
On November 14, 2007, MoDOT announced plans for a complete replacement of the Paseo Bridge. The new Christopher S. Bond Missouri River Bridge is a dual-span cable-stayed bridge, anchored by a Шаблон:Convert tall delta-shaped pylon. The pylon rises Шаблон:Convert above the Missouri River.[2] The new bridge increased the roadway capacity from two lanes each direction to three lanes southbound on the bridge and 4 lanes northbound on the bridge, one northbound lane being an auxiliary lane. The bridge is designed to have four through lanes each way at a future date without needing to widen the bridge.[3]
In December 2007, the Federal Aviation Administration warned that the pylon might interfere with traffic at Kansas City Downtown Airport, one mile to the west. In August 2008, the FAA altered flight procedures at the airport to give planes more than Шаблон:Convert of clearance above the pylon.[4] Construction on the Bond bridge began in April 2008, just downstream of the Paseo bridge. This allowed the Paseo bridge to remain open to traffic during construction. With the opening of the Bond bridge, demolition of the Paseo bridge started, and was completed on July 1, 2011.[5]
The bridge is part of a $245 million project that upgraded an approximately Шаблон:Convert section of the I-29/I-35 corridor to six lanes. The contractor is Paseo Corridor Constructors (PCC), a joint venture team composed of Clarkson Construction Company, Massman Construction Co., and Kiewit Construction Co. The bridge was designed by Parsons Corporation[6] and Bradley Touchstone of the DodStone Group of Tallahassee, Florida was the bridge architect. The firm also designed the John James Audubon Bridge in Louisiana, which is the longest cable-stayed bridge in North America.[7]
