The article said: “Flatiron Constructors’ proposal calls for a concrete bridge.”
“Looking at the website of Flatirons partner I noticed that the partner had built the St. Paul Wabasha Bridge and they noted that construction was done in harse winter conditions. Yesterday I was driving down Warner road and drove under the Wabasha Street bridge. It’s a very stylish bridge and concrete.
Just from cashaul observation, concrete, especially the concrete arch seems to hold up very well. The I35W localtion is an extremely damp area with spray from St. Anthony Falls up from the privailing winds. Perhaps Flatiron added a number of factors to take the moisture into accound a lower future inspecetion and maintainance costs.
