The Reconstruction of Grand River Bridge
The reconstruction of the bridge over Grand River, 3 miles south of Chillicothe, Mo., on the Kansas City Division of the Chicago, Milwaukee and St. Paul Railway, by the railway company's Bridge and Building Department, presents several interesting features which will be described by the author, who was the engineer in charge of the work.
The Kansas City Division was built west from Chillicothe during the year 1887. The crossing of the Grand River consisted of a pile approach 1 070 ft. long at the east end, four 138-ft. wooden Howe truss spans across the channel, and a 16-ft. pile approach at the west end. The Howe trusses rested upon pile piers, each consisting of 48 oak piles well braced, planked on the outside, filled with rock and riprapped at the bottom. That these piers were well built is shown by subsequent events. Grand River, at the ordinary stage of water, is about 150 ft. wide at the bridge, and from 4 to 6 ft. deep. It is subject, however, to very sudden rises, ranging from 10 ft. to 29 ft. above low water. At times of high water the current is very swift and carries large quantities of driftwood.
