JS McDonnell Bridge Replacement

M3 Engineering was selected for the design of the replacement of the existing Functionally Obsolete, three span bridge on JS McDonnell Boulevard. Bridge No. 164, which has an ADT of nearly 15,000, provides vital access to businesses north of Lambert Airport. The bridge spans Coldwater Creek and is only 1,200 feet from Lambert’s Crosswind Runway 6/24 making it subject to FAA’s Part 77 regulations that restrict the height of construction equipment from obstructing navigable airspace. The bridge is located within a FUSRAP site, so M3 worked with USACE to ensure that any disturbed subsurface material followed radioactive safety protocol. A floodplain study of Coldwater Creek was prepared to demonstrate no impact on the 100 year water surface...

The inspection was performed per the NTIS guidelines, as well as MoDOT guidelines. Elements that were inspected included: Tunnel Walls, Pre-stressed Concrete Tunnel Roof Girders, Tunnel Portals, Concrete Slab-On Grade,...

Old Halls Ferry Bridge Replacement

M3 Engineering was part of the team that designed a replacement for the Old Halls Ferry Bridge over Halls Ferry Creek, located 0.10 miles north of State Route AC/New Halls Ferry Road. M3 performed a floodplain study on the stream to ensure that the proposed structure would not cause an increase in the 100 year and the 15-year water surface elevations. M3 was also tasked with performing an assessment to ensure ADA compliance, as well as designing a new enclosed storm sewer system adjacent to the new 70’ span bridge. The project was permitted through the Metropolitan St. Louis Sewer District and the US Army Corps of Engineers.
