| 摘要： | Portions of three rivers will close later in September as crews plan to float in and raise the 700-foot-long main span of a new bridge over the Cumberland River in Smithland. The steel truss forming the bridge's main span has been under construction at the Paducah-Mc-Cracken County Riverport Authority on the Tennessee River since last fall. It was built atop four jumbo barges and three 120-foot barges, provided by Paducah Barge and McDonough Marine Service. James Marine reinforced the jumbo barges to be able to handle the load. The truss will be floated on the four jumbo barges, pushed by three Excell Marine towboats, to the Tennessee River's junction with the Ohio River and then upriver on the Ohio to Smith-land, where the Cumberland meets the Ohio. From there it will be pushed just upriver to the new bridge piers. It must travel about 14 miles in all. The Coast Guard plans to close the stretches of the involved rivers as the truss moves by, with a longer closure at the work site on the Cumberland near Smithland. |
