Summer 2021 Project Updates
We have several exciting projects in the works, including the revitalization of Rock Island Bridge between Kansas City, MO and Kansas City, KS; Grandview, MO I-49 Outer Road Conversion Design-Build and the Lawrence, KS Stormwater project (coming soon).
TREKK is partnering with Flying Truss LLC in its efforts to transform the historic 1905 Rock Island Bridge (RIB) into an entertainment district and public trail connector over the Kansas River. TREKK’s survey team provided static LiDAR scans of the existing steel and joint plates which will be utilized to determine and design additional support structures. Due to the bridge’s deteriorating conditions, TREKK designed an unmanned trolley system for the static scanner to approach from both ends, making the entire acquisition safer. Once completed, the RIB will feature an events venue, retail boutiques, high-end sleeping cabins, a restaurant, wine tasting room and viewing platform. TREKK is excited to partner on this project that will provide such a great space to connect the greater Kansas City community.
The City of Grandview, MO selected TREKK and our partner, Radmacher Brothers Excavating, to upgrade the outer roadways along I-49 to improve local access, promote walkability and, ultimately, encourage economic development. The Radmacher-TREKK team is providing design-build services to convert the one-way frontage roads to operate with two-way traffic. Interchange improvements are also planned at Main Street and 140th Street. Construction will begin Summer 2021 and is slated for completion in Winter 2022.
TREKK will be assisting the City of Lawrence to establish asset inventory and assessment standards, data collection standards, citywide mapping and field data collection of the stormwater system. We are also updating citywide stormwater design criteria, developing stormwater modeling processes and procedures, and building a citywide stormwater hydraulic model. In addition, we will work with the City to develop a comprehensive stormwater CIP.
