Kosciuszko Bridge

The Goodwill bridge is a bridge which spans across the Brisbane river carrying non-motorised traffic such as cyclists and pedestrians. The purpose of the bridge was to create a shorter and more convenient route of travel for residents wishing to travel between South Bank Parklands and Gardens Point in the Brisbane CBD. Due to the Brisbane river being the separation of these locations; the Goodwill bridge was a convenient, helpful solution. The bridge was first opened by the Premier of Queensland on the 21st of October, 2001.

Several factors contributed to the failure of the Maccabiah Bridge. Although many accusations were made, it is essential to narrow the scope of the investigation in order to efficiently analyze the event. As shown in the article “The Bridge Too Far,” the essential flaws in the planning, designing, and construction of the bridge include failure to

expansion of services for the new roads is the first step in the project, including highways and bypass roads, finally, linking new urban centers in the country and reducing congestion in large cities [2].

The estimated cost of the scheme is between £1.325-£1.35 billion. New technology will be implemented for the queen’s ferry crossing; it will be more climate resistant than the current bridge. Key feature of the new bridge include:

The Walterdale Bridge started construction in Edmonton, Alberta, July 2013 with an estimated completion of fall 2015. The year is now 2016 with a completion date of 2017. The project was first established with a purpose to replace the pre-existing bridge built between 1912 - 1913, which according to the city of Edmonton (2016) is reaching the end of its service life. The Walterdale Bridge will connect the intersection of Queen Elizabeth Park Road and Walterdale Hill on the River’s south side, to the River Valley Road/Rossdale Road/105 street intersection on the north side. By conducting a critical analysis of the project, from the project management perspective and using the project management methodologies as stated in the Project Management Body of Knowledge, this case analysis will analyze the issues, failures, and causes that plague the Walterdale Bridge project.

Since then, I have taken the Queensboro Bridge hundreds of times. Spanning across the East River and looking out onto the city skyline, the bridge still serves the same purpose today, as it did in 1909 when it was first opened. To most people, it looks like any other bridge, but to me, it’s like watching parts of an ecosystem work together as people bike, walk, and drive across and around it.

The Queen Elizabeth Way is a 400-Series highway in the Canadian province of Ontario linking Toronto with the Niagara Peninsula and Buffalo, New York. The freeway begins at the Peace Bridge in Fort Erie and travels 139.1 kilometres (86.4 mi) around the western shore of Lake Ontario, ending at Highway 427, where the roadway continues as the Gardiner Expressway into downtown Toronto. The freeway's history dates back to 1931, when work began to widen the Middle Road as a relief project during the Great Depression, to bring it up to the quality of the nearby Dundas Highway and Lakeshore Road. In 1934, the design was modified to resemble German autobahns. When it was initially opened in 1937, it was the first intercity divided highway in North America

Jonas: If we had another chance to do this bridge project, I think that we would make goals to make our bridge earlier so that we could make more improvements.On our first try we were rushed to make a bridge because of our indecisiveness. As I said before, we ended up making a bridge that we could not test earlier. It then happened that our bridge was very weak and did not succeed in holding a lot of weight. If we made more time to go over our bridge, then our bridge might have had a better strength efficiency

In the spring of 1989, the construction of the new bridge began. The base of the Trent River was a flotilla of barges carrying the workers, cranes and equipment needed to prepare the temporary pillars that would support the new bridge, as well as maneuver the huge steel girders into place for the new bridge. It was an awesome sight for the entire town, as we watched barges float the steel girders into the harbour, one section being 74 meters in length and two more that were 54 metres each. The new steel box girder bridge had a total length of 182 metres and weighed 2,950 metric tonnes (Anderson & Trenkler, 1991). Temporary cement pillars were poured to support

The design error along with a few other factors led to the collapse of the bridge. When the bridge first opened, the traffic deck had 2 lanes of traffic going in each direction for a total of 4 lanes. However, in 1998, the bridge was renovated so that there were 4 lanes of traffic going in each direction for a total of 8 lanes. Along with a few other bridge renovations, the weight of the bridge was significantly increased. Also, the rush hour traffic and the construction vehicles located on the bridge for repairs during the day of collapse added a considerable amount of weight too.

The French government had donated that bridge to help the Haitian people. As I stated before, this kind of bridge must not stay on the terrain for a long time. This time would be different due to the peculiar situation of those villages. The cities of Dondon and San Rafael used the former bridge for many purposes like to take children to school, go to the doctor appointments and day-by-day displacements. The old bridge had fallen three years ago during a tropical storm. Since that day, people used a ford path in the river to cross. They really needed that bridge.

By the late 1990’s, the Washington State Department of Transportation (WSDOT) began conducting studies to find solutions to the problems of traffic and the aging of the original four-lane bridge (WSDOT, 2015). Approval for a new, wider floating bridge was obtained and, in 2011, construction of concrete pontoons for the new bridge’s foundation began. The new replacement bridge is part of a massive $4.6 billion program by Washington State (and the City of Seattle) to improve transportation infrastructure via State Route 520 on both sides of Lake Washington. After approximately five years’ time, the new floating bridge opened ceremoniously in April of 2016. The program continues through 2016 with construction activities highlighted by the safe demolition and removal of the old bridge (WSDOT,

The incorporation of cable wire and technology allowed the industry to produce and become more efficient for everyday living. Therefore, resulting in consumer goods, health services, military, transportation, communications, and agriculture. As a German immigrant, John A. Roebling and other German-American immigrants, are recognized on October 4, 2003, by George W. Bush, as pioneers which have significantly influenced our country. George W. Bush stated in a proclamation to celebrate how our country was greatly influenced by German Americans which included John Augustus Roebling and his son Washington Roebling as they “pioneered the development of suspension bridges and wire cable. Their construction of the Brooklyn Bridge is a lasting landmark

Hi, my name is Maryum and the bridges that I researched about are the Golden Gate Bridge, the Batman Bridge, the Auckland Harbor Bridge, the Bixby Creek Bridge, and the Quebec Bridge.

The deteriorating current structure bears an average of 138,000 vehicles per day, substantially more traffic than its designed capacity. During its first decade, the bridge carried fewer than 40,000 vehicles per day. Unlike the other major bridges in metropolitan New York, the Tappan Zee Bridge was designed to last only 50 years. In addition, the precious collapse of Minnesota's I-35W Mississippi River bridge in 2007 raised worries about the Tappan Zee Bridge's structural integrity. These concerns, together with traffic overcapacity and increased maintenance costs, escalated the serious discussions already ongoing about replacing the Tappan Zee with a new
