  • The Ministry of Transportation is replacing Highway 417 bridges at five locations along Highway 417 due to the deteriorating condition of the bridges.
    The project involves replacement of the existing Highway 417 eastbound and westbound rigid-frame bridges at Preston Street, Rochester Street, Booth Street, Bronson Avenue and Percy Street using a Rapid Bridge Replacement (RBR) technology. RBR technology involves constructing the new bridges in a staging area and during a full traffic shutdown of Highway 417 demolition the existing bridge and move the new bridge into place over a 4 -day weekend period.
    Additional work will be completed to rehabilitate infrastructure in the Highway 417 corridor and provide operational improvements and noise barrier replacements. The project includes the following work:
    Preparation of the construction staging areas associated with the construction of each of the replacement bridges within these areas.
    In-place demolition of the existing bridges, including excavation of the existing bridge approaches to accommodate the rapid bridge replacement.
    Transportation of the bridge from the construction staging area to the bridge site using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs).
    Building demolition at 458 Catherine Street.
    Replacement of 4.5 km existing noise barriers from Island Park Drive to Kent Street and construction of 860 m of new noise barriers under the Noise Barrier Retrofit Program within the same limits.
    Rehabilitation/replacement of existing retaining walls from Island Park Drive to Kent Street.
    Construction of related works, including roadside barriers, pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvements, modifications to illumination/ATMS, and site restoration including landscaping as required.
    Improvements to the Bronson Avenue Interchange including lengthening of the westbound on-ramp and eastbound off-ramps; re-alignment of Chamberlain Avenue; drainage improvements; traffic signals and associated roadway illumination; and site restoration including landscaping as required.
    This took over 150 GB of local storage and a week to process to remove the camera shake from the wind. There are also about 40 cuts removing parts where there was no data.
    Total construction time 3 days, 3 hours and 55 minutes (about 76 hours)

Weil die Bauarbeiter nach Zeit bezahlt kriegen und deswegen lassen die sich genug Zeit. Ich kann sowas nicht nachvollziehen. Genau wie mit den Ampelschaltungen hier. Es kotzt einen nur noch an jeden Tag. An einer grünen Ampel fährt man los und an der nächsten wird man zum anhalten gezwungen, weil die auf ROT schaltet. Warum wird so ein Schwachsinn geschaltet?? In den USA und in Kanada werden die Ampeln in Reihe geschaltet, damit der Verkehrsfluß gegeben ist und die ganzen Baufirmen in den USA und Kanada kriegen eine bestimmte Zeit vorgegeben und wenn die das in der Zeit nicht schaffen, dann muß der Bauunternehmer eine saftige Strafe bezahlen! Hier in Deutschland ist das alles scheißegal!!!

    In the UK in the late 1950s they completed 55 miles of motorway, including 100 bridges, tunnels and under/over passes in 18 months.
    In 2020, in Scotland, they started a project to build an interchange and bridge over a river, it was held up for two years but its completion date is 3 years, for ONE interchange and a two section bridge. How far we have come that it takes longer to complete this even with all the technological advances, than it did to build 100 structures and 55 miles of roadway.
    They could have done a time-lapse film of it but most of it would have no movement at all, the camera would have to have been replaced and they would need a server farm to store it all.

    I remember when they widened the Queensway(417). It was a challenge to travel while the lane closures were necessary to accommodate 3 lanes in each direction. Bridges had to be replaced with wider ones and because Ottawa was totally reliant on the 417, things haf to be done without as much disruption as possible. At that time I was driving a schoolbus from the east end to the west end each weekday. Not much fun!

      Yes, the megalift drives in under the old section, two large cuts across the highway and 2 under cuts on the walls of tunnel. Then drive it out in the way the new bridge sections went in. Obviously an oversimplification, but if pre-planned it could save 24-36hours of demolition time because the demo could happen out of the way of the site prep.

    Amazing timelapse, thoroughly enjoyed it! Isn't it funny though, that bridges only built in the 60s or even later are already reaching "end of life" and having to be replaced, yet there's the world's first iron bridge built in 1779, various railway viaducts and bridges, and Tower Bridge in London completed in 1894 _with moving parts_ that are still standing and in regular use today. Sure they've had maintenance, a bit of paint and even some renovation works done - but they haven't needed to be entirely torn down and replaced with a new version. And yet we still claim modern building techniques are always better, stronger, longer lasting etc.

    • @NathanaelNewton
      @NathanaelNewton  Před 5 měsíci

      True but iron bridges and moving parts can be replaced and upgraded one piece at a time without removing the whole structure.. eventually everything gets replaced so the original structure is completely gone.
      Similar to what they do with high voltage power lines like here:

      @NathanaelNewton  Před 5 měsíci +1

      The Ministry of Transportation is replacing Highway 417 bridges at five locations along Highway 417 due to the deteriorating condition of the bridges.
      The project involves replacement of the existing Highway 417 eastbound and westbound rigid-frame bridges at Preston Street, Rochester Street, Booth Street, Bronson Avenue and Percy Street using a Rapid Bridge Replacement (RBR) technology. RBR technology involves constructing the new bridges in a staging area and during a full traffic shutdown of Highway 417 demolition the existing bridge and move the new bridge into place over a 4 -day weekend period.
      Additional work will be completed to rehabilitate infrastructure in the Highway 417 corridor and provide operational improvements and noise barrier replacements. The project includes the following work:
      Preparation of the construction staging areas associated with the construction of each of the replacement bridges within these areas.
      In-place demolition of the existing bridges, including excavation of the existing bridge approaches to accommodate the rapid bridge replacement.
      Transportation of the bridge from the construction staging area to the bridge site using Self-Propelled Modular Transporters (SPMTs).
      Building demolition at 458 Catherine Street.
      Replacement of 4.5 km existing noise barriers from Island Park Drive to Kent Street and construction of 860 m of new noise barriers under the Noise Barrier Retrofit Program within the same limits.
      Rehabilitation/replacement of existing retaining walls from Island Park Drive to Kent Street.
      Construction of related works, including roadside barriers, pavement rehabilitation, drainage improvements, modifications to illumination/ATMS, and site restoration including landscaping as required.
      Improvements to the Bronson Avenue Interchange including lengthening of the westbound on-ramp and eastbound off-ramps; re-alignment of Chamberlain Avenue; drainage improvements; traffic signals and associated roadway illumination; and site restoration including landscaping as required.

    Impressive, but when do north Americans learn, that adding lanes won't solve traffic problems. Everything above three (maximum four) lanes is just more parking space during the not prevented traffic jam.
    1 lane has a capacity of about 1800 vehicles per hour
    2 lanes don't add up to 3600 but only 2300 - 2500 due to lane changes and more effects
    3 lanes give you about 200 more
    4 lanes even less
    ...
    And somewhere the wide section will end or there will be a big intersection with a lot of merging traffic and then the jam will start from there, instead of a mile before. Always take care of the weakest links first and those are rarely the free flow sections.

    they should've used concrete instead of asphalt for the road surface since this is a highway & highways are normally paved with concrete. would also be wild if they blew up the old bridge with TNT like Minecraft. there are also a couple pieces for a new bridge that has been delayed since the dates it was scheduled there was a flood.

      Concrete in that climate would require a bunch of upkeep. If you want a good idea on how it would go, check out street view of I-95 as it goes through Pelham and New Rochelle NY. Lots of squares cut out and re-done and it causes all sorts of unevenness in the deck. That asphalt cap is a lifesaver for stuff like that. Every 15-20 years you just eat the cap off and relay it in no time flat. Saves the concrete underlayment.

      Asphalt is far superior than concrete unless you are dealing with consistently hot climates (as the bitumen in the AC won't hold up and start bleeding). AC is better in almost every other way though. It's more flexible, which reduces breakage and makes it better for vehicles. It's also cheaper and quicker/easier to implement than concrete, not to mention easier to maintain. It won't last as long as concrete but that does depend on climate once again. If it's too cold with too high of traffic volume, the concrete will crack easily because of it's rigidity.

    Sad that this took a full three days to complete. I would've seen it done in no more than 18-24 hours. Blast the bridge out with explosives (3 hours [includes shutting down hwy and laying dynamite] [holes pre-drilled the weekend before]), clean the rubble (2 hours), blast the hillsides out (completed as soon as the center is clear), clean the rubble again (2 hours), re-grade and form the new edges (concurrent with rubble removal, so +1 hour), move the tunnels in (90 mins), back-fill (3 hours), level (3 hours), pave (3-6 hours [depending if it's done concurrently and how much they need to re-pave on the lead up]). Paint (30 mins) and done. The only reason it took them 14 hours to pave is because they only had 1 paver working the whole site. There should've been no less than 2 pavers going at any given time. Also notice that after the flurry of activity the first night, there's not actually all that many machines working. Lots of people supervising but not nearly enough dozers to push all the gravel in. Also what's the deal with the daisy chain? Have the dump trucks deliver the stone to the edge, not a full 30 yards back so they have to then have a pair of dozers pushing in. And why only a single excavator on the back-fill duty? They should have put a ramp up to the top of the tunnel once it was settled in and put 4 excavators up on top and done the back-filling from there.
