Best Small Project & Project of the Year Nominee & Safety Award of Merit: Gideon Street Overcrossing Project
The Gideon Street Overcrossing in Portland, Ore., now links the old and the new with a bicycle and pedestrian bridge over five separate railway tracks, crossing the TriMet light rail and Union Pacific Railroad tracks, and restoring an important connection in the Hosford-Abernethy neighborhood.
The team erected a 142-ft structural steel span weighing 100,000 lb and stretching over three sets of light rail tracks and two sets of freight tracks.
