Mission Road Bridge Design over Rock Creek

The signal span Mission Road Bridge - prone to flooding during heavy rains - was replaced by a three-span reinforced concrete haunched slab bridge 150' in length, with span lengths of 45'-60'-45', a variable roadway width, and a variable skew located in a horizontal curve. The bridge is designed in accordance with APWA KC Metro standards to pass a 100-year flood event and features stone facade treatments, decorative railings and lights, and landscaping. This complex bridge project also involved the purchase and demolition of five flood-prone homes.  SKW provided surveying, engineering, landscape architecture, and construction administration/observation services for the $5M construction project completed in 2009.  APWA awarded the 2009 Transportation Project of the Year Award in the $5M-25M Category to this project.
