Gateway Boulevard over the Cumberland River Nashville, Tennessee
The City of Nashville, Tennessee contracted with HNTB Corporation to complete environmental documents, preliminary design and final design for the new Gateway Boulevard Bridge over the Cumberland River in downtown Nashville. The primary criterion for the bridge was to create a "signature bridge" that would become a trademark of Nashville. HNTB developed several alternatives for this bridge including haunched plate girders, thru arch, tied arch and cable-stayed alternatives. The City chose the thru arch as the structure type to be advanced to final design and construction. The total bridge length is 495 meters (1624 feet) with a navigation span of 180 meters (591 feet). The cross section of the bridge includes six traffic lanes with a bike lane and 3 meter (10 foot) sidewalks on each side giving an overall bridge width of 31 meters (102 feet). This project includes roadway design, geotechnical investigation and evaluation, aesthetic lighting and drainage design. It is anticipated that the construction will be completed near the end of 2003. This paper will look at the design, fabrication and erection of the steel box arch rib and roadway, including very different foundation conditions on the east and west banks of the Cumberland River.
