Sisu is next! Footer form readied.

It was a busy week in the gorge and maybe this is a good time to announce that KNSC is preparing to replace the Sisu bridge which is in very poor shape as well.  The design for it is being done by Steve Wright PE at OHM.  Immediately below is the footer form just before it was poured.

 

Looking good and ready for a filling.

With excellent help like this, you can do good work.

Steve and Mark going over design parameters at the Sisu bridge.
Like it's length...

What's the abutment going to sit on?

The Sisu bridge is tentatively scheduled for replacement in 2017.

We love an engineer who'll come out and get dirty with us.

We also checked out the next bridge upstream.
Steve thought it looked darn good!

Do note that KNSC along with the City of Hancock is getting DEQ permits to install these bridges and doing this means we must have their designs done and approved by a PE.   This certainly costs more but they'll last for many, many years and stay clear of high water in the spring.
