| 摘要： | Construction began last month on the footers for the main piers of the new bridge over the Cumberland River in Smithland, Ky. The bridge, at Cumberland River Mile 2.7, continues to be ahead of schedule with completion of the $63.6 million project expected in spring 2023. It is being built just downstream of the existing bridge and will carry U.S. 60 across the river. Kentucky Transportation Cabinet (KYTC) District 1 Chief Engineer Kyle Poat noted the prime contractor on the project, Jim Smith Contracting, postponed work on the footers until well after the spring flood season to reduce the likelihood of worksite flooding. "These main piers are closest to the edge of the river," Poat said. "While this work started about a month later than expected, the crew placing the pilings made up that lost time." The pilings are enormous pipes driven into the ground to help create a deep foundation to support the bridge. KYTC Project Manager Austin Hart says it is hard to imagine their size until you see them up close. |
