No-Name Creek Bridge

Photo Gallery

The No-Name Creek Bridge (NNCB) was built in KSCI's plant in Russell, Kansas and shipped to its installation site on a flatbed truck. The bridge was built in three 23 x 9 foot sections. The two outer sections had the guardrail built into them at the factory and were shipped to the job site as an integral unit. Assembly of the bridge took one day.

Proof testing of the center section of the bridge. Kansas State University performed the testing with the assistance of the Russell County Highway Department.
Loading the bridge for delivery to the job site. The bridge came complete in three pieces. The guardrails and wear surface were built into the bridge at the factory.
Installation of the bridge on November 8, 1996. The bridge was installed by placing the three panels side by side. The guardrails and wear surface (polymer concrete) was built into the panels. Installation took one day. Since this was our first bridge, it took a little longer than it will on future bridges.
The dedication. We had the traditional ribbon cutting and speeches along with signs and flags.
The final product. Kansas State University has a test jig under the bridge that they will use for the next several years to measure changes in the bridge.
