Demolition of the N.W. US-24 highway bridge began Sunday and will continue through Wednesdays daylight hours.
Crews at the US-24 and N.W. Topeka Boulevard exchange started the demolition project by working on taking out the approach pavement near the bridge Sunday. By Monday afternoon, workers were using multiple excavators and a convoy of dump trucks to pull up about 500 feet of concrete on either side of the bridge. The construction site was loud and dusty with all of the large equipment, concrete dust and passing traffic.
Workers also had started to form a dirt bed underneath the bridge to act as a cushion for concrete falling from overhead. The crews will be working on the demolition from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. each day until the bridge is demolished.
This demolition starts the second phase of the overall project for the Kansas Department of Transportation.
As with any change or phase change there is a lot of new work to be done, said KDOT spokeswoman Kimberly Qualls. We look at traffic changes and work with the city on a variety of things to make sure we have the best possible solution for the situation. Each change has a different set of circumstances, and despite planning, you cant always anticipate what drivers will do.
Rather than using implosions to take down the bridge, KDOT will be demolishing the bridge by using excavators with jackhammer attachments.
Although it is typical for bridges to be demolished via implosions, Qualls said Monday that implosions werent a viable option in this scenario.
This is a heavily trafficked corridor, and there are a lot of businesses around this exchange, Qualls said. The area is so small and concise, and the bridge is small enough that implosions really werent necessary.
The US-24 and N.W. Topeka exchange opened in 1941 as the first cloverleaf exchange in Kansas at a price of $168,500. Today, the project that calls for the replacement of the bridge, resurfacing the interchange ramps and adding new pavement on either side of the bridge will cost $2.3 million. The contractor for the project is RA Knapp Construction, of Kansas City, Kan.
Both eastbound and westbound traffic on US-24 will be reduced to one lane in each direction on the bypass routes through late September, and the zone will post a 35-mph speed limit and a 14-foot wide lane restriction.

Keeping the city's decks presentable can be a daily battle, yet Councilwoman Laura Padgett wants crews to fight harder.
The city decks can be disgusting, Padgett said at a June 17 council meeting. She had attended a formal event at the Wilmington Convention Center and was disappointed in the cleanliness of the deck next door.
"The other decks remain dirty and smelly a good part of the time, too," she said.
While some agree that the decks could be cleaner, not everyone agrees that cleanliness is a problem.
Keeping decks clean
The city is preparing to hire a contractor to pressure wash the city's decks from top to bottom for the first time in four years.
Due to budget cuts, the decks were last power washed in the summer of 2009, said Betty Gurganus, the city's parking manager.
This year's city budget includes a 14 percent increase in parking operating expenses to cover the costs for pressure washing, along with painting work and purchasing trash cans and cigarette butt urns.
The city pays Lanier Parking to manage and operate its downtown decks, and Lanier crews are tasked with the everyday cleaning. Every morning, crews walk through the decks, when they assess what will need to be addressed that day, such as graffiti or a broken light. They clean up any bodily fluids right away and sweep daily.
