NDOT representative says Loop River Bridges project is on schedule; girders possible next month
Loading...
Summary
Rick Bogus told the Columbus City Council the Nebraska Department of Transportation Loop River Bridges project is progressing on schedule: piers and bases are underway, north abutment work will begin soon to avoid in-river work during environmental windows, and girders may be placed next month.
Rick Bogus provided the Columbus City Council an update on the Nebraska Department of Transportation Loop River Bridges project, reporting that pier and base work is underway and on schedule. He said some piers already have been completed and caps poured on others; work will soon shift to the north abutment to keep construction out of the river during environmental restrictions. If plans and weather hold, Bogus said girders may go up next month.
Bogus also reported that the state has not noted traffic issues or river-related problems from the construction to date. Council members and staff discussed coordination when farmers need to move large equipment across work zones and credited cooperation among police and county sheriff's offices in those instances.
No action was required; the presentation was informational and the project will continue under NDOT oversight and permitting schedules.
