The City of Chicago, Department of Public Works (DPW), will implement a
transit line from downtown Chicago to Midway Airport. The Southwest

portion of the Southwest Transit Project from Station 205 + 00 to
Station 248 + 00. This contract includes an elevated line section which
occupies right- of-way of the Belt Railway of Chicago (BRC), follows a
large radius curve east where it parallels 49th Street and occupies
Atchison, Topeka and Santa Fe (ATSF), Grand Truck Western (GTW), and

BART
Bridge over El Camino Real (S.R. 82)
Colma,
California
F. E. Jordan Associates, Inc. in joint venture, was retained to design
the Colma Extension Line Civil and Structure Facilities as the first leg
of the extension of BART to the San Francisco Airport. Part of this $40
million project is the design of a major transit bridge over State
Roupte 82. This bridge is a three-span trapezoidal-shaped, continuous
cast-in-place prestressed box girder bridge supported on excessively
skewed column bents on pile footings. Spans are 1 08,11 0 and 113 feet.
This project was designed for the San Francisco Bay Area Rapid Transit
District (BART). |
BART
Daly City Station Pedestrian Bridge
Daly
City, California
Retained by the Bay Area Rapid Transit System to design intermodal
facilities to facilitate pedestrian and vehicle access, F. E. Jordan
Associates, Inc., in joint venture developed a combination of reinforced
concrete and structural steel design for a pedestrian bridge, pedestrian
tunnel, access structure, police reporting station and canopy
structures. The 51 foot single-span pedestrian bridge is a
channel-shaped reinforced concrete structure with steel structure
roofing, supported on existing retaining wall with modified footing on
one end and new abutment on another end. |
