The 10pm thread (archived)

The big anti-hijack thread.....
Talk about anything, but if this works than we don't have to keep looking around all the threads to see who is still on tonight, and every night, or even every day! Talk about the chiefs, talk about tomorrow, talk about football, politics or even how to do flooring and the applicable budget. What you're drinking, how hard it is to sleep, etc. Every thing is acceptable in this thread.....

http://www.timeanddate.com/worldcloc...om.html?sort=2 see for yourself, it is ten o'clock somewhere.

Carns State Aid Bridge

County Road over the Niobrara River
10.8 Miles Northeast of Bassett
Rock / Keya Paha Counties, Nebraska
Total Length: 527 ft.
Roadway Width: 14 ft.
5-Span, Concrete Filled Spandrel Arch 2-Span, Parker and Pratt Through Truss
TYPE: Concrete filled spandrel arch, with Pratt and Parker through trusses
BUILT: 1912-13 by the Lincoln Construction Company
C007522105



After years of almost continuous repairs, the timber bridge over the Niobrara River at Carns was finally wrecked by ice in the winter of 1910. That April, the Brown and Keya Paha county boards resolved unanimously that "the best and lasting benefits to the people of both counties would be the building and erection of a new steel bridge." Paying for the bridge would be difficult, but the commissioners' prospects improved substantially when the state legislature passed the State Aid Bridge Law in 1911. They applied for and got state assistance to build the bridge that year. The Nebraska State Engineer approved plans for two 160-foot steel spans, which had been presented by the Western Bridge and Construction Company. But at the bid opening all bids were rejected because, as reported by the state engineer, "it was evident there had been no competition in the bidding."

The project was stalled until the following May, when the Lincoln Construction Company was awarded the contract. The steel truss design had by then been scrapped in favor of a concrete structure composed of six 54-foot spans. The Carns Bridge was completed in the summer of 1913. It ultimately proved too narrow for this crossing, however, and in 1962 one of the bridge's six spans, along with several hundred feet of approach, washed out. This span was replaced, and the bridge extended by the addition of two salvaged trusses, including a Parker truss obtained from the Schuyler State Aid Bridge over the Platte River between Colfax and Butler counties.

Although this latter construction has altered its appearance, the Carns State Aid Bridge is historically important as the oldest remaining structure built under Nebraska's state aid bridge program. Forming an important river crossing in this sparsely settled part of the state, it represents the success of the state aid program in providing major bridges for counties perennially strapped for funds.

unnamed bridge

County Road over Unnamed Stream
1.5 Miles Southwest of Nebraska City
Otoe County, Nebraska
Total Length: 28 ft.
Roadway Width: 13.8 ft.
1-Span, Concrete Filled Spandrel Arch
BUILT: 1912 by the Kimballton Construction Company
C006601805P



This small-scale concrete bridge carries a gravel-surfaced county road over a small unnamed watercourse southwest of Nebraska City. The structure dates to 1912. On February 6, the Otoe County Commissioners awarded a contract to erect this 24-foot concrete arch to the Kimballton Construction Company of Kimballton, Iowa. The contract specified that the arch be complete with wingwalls, have 8-inch wide 3-foot high guardrails, and a 16-foot roadway width. The contractors completed the bridge that spring, and it has carried vehicular traffic since in unaltered and well-preserved condition. As one of a handful of concrete arches remaining in Otoe County, this bridge is noteworthy for its high degree of detailing and quality workmanship.

Traveled this past weekend, and pretty much slept when I got back. Just haven't had too much time to be on today. Don't worry, after 12:30 or so, I'll be on. At least for a little while.

Bryan Bridge

US Hwy 20/83 over the Niobrara River
3.3 Miles Southeast of Valentine
Cherry County, Nebraska
Total Length: 290 ft.
Roadway Width: 23.8 ft.
3-Span, Rigid-Connected Pratt Deck Truss
BUILT: 1931-32 by the Yant Construction Company
S020 19981



When engineers for the Nebraska Bureau of Roads and Bridge began considering the design of a new bridge to carry U.S. Highways 20/83 over the Niobrara River in 1931, they first considered a 160-foot through truss with deck girder approaches or a 300-foot continuous truss. But they eventually scrapped these designs in favor of a 290-foot arched cantilever deck truss. "Since it was considered that any structure of ordinary appearance would mar the natural beauty of the banks and immediate surroundings the arched cantilever spans were adopted in spite of the slightly greater cost," highway department engineer Josef Sorkin explained in 1934. Named in honor of Nebraska Governor Charles W. Bryan, the proposed structure consisted of a 145-foot arched span over the river, flanked by symmetrical anchor spans and supported by dumbbell-shaped concrete pedestals.

A contract to build the bridge was awarded late in 1931 to the Yant Construction Company of Omaha. Using a steel superstructure fabricated by the Paxton and Vierling Iron Works in Omaha, the contractor completed the bridge the next year. Since its dedication in September 1932, the Bryan Bridge has carried traffic in this lightly trafficked highway, without substantial modification.

"Aesthetic treatment of Nebraska bridges is seldom economically justifiable due to the alluvial character of the streams - typically wide and shallow," Josef Sorkin wrote in 1934. "The comparative cost of substructures is so small that only in very rare instances spans beyond 60 feet in length are acceptable from the point of view of cost. For such limited span lengths the steel deck girder type is most useful. While everything is being done to make such bridges as sightly as possible, spectacular achievements of merit are obviously limited. "With its steep banks and beautiful streambed, the Niobrara River lent itself well to a dramatic structural statement, and the Nebraska highway department took full advantage of this rare opportunity to flex its engineering muscles. Perhaps the most handsome highway bridge in the state, the Bryan Bridge is a singular exercise in highway bridge aesthetics in the state.
