St. Joe Dr. Bridge Project
St. Francois County Special Road
District 2 replaces a bridge spanning
UPRR line in Park Hills, MO
Out with the old!
The St. Joe Drive bridge,
originally built in 1920, served
St. Francois County until
becoming part of U.S. Route
67. After U.S. Route 67 was
replaced by the four lane
highway to the east in 1964, St.
Joe Drive became an arterial
part of the local road system
serving the city of Esther and
St. Francois County. Later, St.
Joe Drive bridge became partly
incorporated into the city of
Park Hills upon consolidation
of the cities in 1994. The
narrow, obsolete structure was
demolished for replacement by
the St. Francois County Special
Road District 2 in 2017.
Unreliable rock?
Excavation soon revealed rock
weakened by the original
railroad cut through the area.
Contractors cut six foot deeper
than planned to prepare for a
sub-footing on solid rock.
Sub-footing lands on a solid rock
Abutment concrete forms
Footings & abutments get rebar
South abutment allows expansion
Kozeny Wagner abutment prep
The beams go ´Ç²Ô…
And the beams go on!
Core Slab provided the deck
