Kansas City ''Triangle'' Urban Interchange Replacement
A major trend in bridge engineering has been the replacement of aging urban interchanges due to a combination of physical deterioration of the structures and the need to expand the capacity of the interchange. The Kansas City "Triangle" in Kansas City, Missouri is one such high-profile interchange that is currently being replaced at an estimated cost of $230 million and scheduled over an eight-year construction period. Because of the deteriorating physical condition of the structures and the large increase in traffic through this urban interchange, there were numerous traffic accidents and severe congestion that prompted the Missouri Department of Transportation to select HNTB to entirely redesign this complex interchange. The "Triangle" interchange contains over 900,000 square feet of bridges and provides for the intersection of I-435, I-470, and U.S. 71 highways while crossing two creeks and two local streets. This paper will focus on the three items that define the standard for all future urban interchange replacements: construction phasing, creative and innovative engineering solutions; and aesthetic considerations.
