I-82 COLUMBIA RIVER BRIDGE DECK REPLACEMENT
Rehabilitation and deck replacement for the historic I-82 Columbia River Bridge spanning from Washington into Oregon near Umatilla.
Project Details
The I-82 Columbia River Bridge, a majestic steel truss structure stretching 3,300 feet across the mighty Columbia, stood as a testament to engineering prowess for over six decades. Built in 1955, it proudly carried the weight of countless vehicles and memories, connecting Washington and Oregon.
But time, and the relentless flow of the river below, took their toll. By 2018, the bridge required a major facelift. Kuney Construction, a company with a history of tackling monumental projects, stepped up to the challenge.
With a meticulous plan in place, Kuney embarked on a comprehensive rehabilitation project. The bridge underwent a full deck replacement, section by section, ensuring a smooth and safe surface for years to come. Critical steel members, the backbone of the structure, were also meticulously rehabilitated, strengthening the bridge's core and extending its lifespan.
This wasn't just a construction project; it was a delicate dance between preserving history and ensuring safety. Kuney's team worked tirelessly, respecting the bridge's legacy while breathing new life into its aging bones.
And so, the I-82 Columbia River Bridge, once again, stands strong and proud. Its story, now etched not just in steel and concrete, but also in the dedication of those who ensured its continued journey. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of human ingenuity and the importance of preserving our past while paving the way for the future.
