BNSF Train Bridge Replacement Progress 12-20-24 (Video 10)

2024 Wrap Up:
With 2024 almost at a close, the BNSF bridge project team is midway through construction of our new railroad bridge at Bismarck and Mandan, ND. Equipment has been removed from the Missouri River this week as crews demobilized on-water activities for the winter. Cranes and barges, along with sheeting for the cofferdam of Pier 7 have been pulled, and people will take a brief break over the holiday season to spend time with family and friends.

So far:
More than half the piling is driven for the new bridge
Nearly 3/4 of embankment is constructed west of the bridge

Constructed:
Pier 2
Pier 3
Pier 7
Pier 9

Underway, but not complete (ongoing work includes forming walls and/or pier shafts):
Abutment 1
Pier 8
Pier 11
Pier 12
To come:

Early in the new year, crews will resume work on Piers 8, 11 and 12.
For Pier 10 and Abutment 13, pile driving will begin early 2025.
After ice out, attention will turn to river piers, Piers 5 and 6.
We anticipate in March 2025, Pier 4, on the eastern edge of the river will be under construction as well, requiring the closure of a section of River Road Trail for the remainder of the project and some daytime traffic control on River Road.
