Beams for third approach bridge of ORX Section 3 scheduled to arrive Monday
I-69 Ohio River Crossing officials said Friday that the last beams for the third and final approach bridge under construction in Evansville are scheduled to be delivered and set over the next two weeks.
The large, concrete beams are scheduled to be delivered Monday–Thursday the weeks of January 26 and February 2, said a release.
The 32 concrete beams range in length from 134 feet to 163 feet long. Four beams are expected to be delivered each day, with one beam transported per truck. Beams will be delivered in the afternoon and set the next day. Beam delivery and setting is expected to begin Monday, Jan. 26 and continue through Friday, Feb. 6, according to the release.
I-69 ORX officials said that as beams are delivered, two short-term rolling closures lasting about five to 10 minutes each are expected on U.S. 41 to allow delivery vehicles to safely make the left turn from southbound U.S. 41 to Waterworks Road (about ½ mile north of the U.S. 41 bridges). Deliveries are anticipated between 1 and 4 p.m. The beams are being delivered from Decatur, Ind.
Message boards along U.S. 41 will remind drivers of these closures. The schedule may be adjusted due to the weather and is subject to change.
I-69 ORX said three approach bridges are being built in Evansville. One concrete pour occurred late last year.
The remaining concrete pours for the three bridge decks are expected this spring, according to I-69 ORX.
Construction on ORX Section 3 is more than 60% complete and is scheduled to be complete late this year, according to officials.
