TN-385 Bridge Plan Altered To Spare Wetlands

	This will most likely be part of the future I-269 around Memphis when it gets built 95 years from now... http://www.commercialappeal.com/mca/local_news/article/0,1426,MCA_437_3655358,00.html Longer span to spare Wolf River wetlands But growing bridge adds $12 million to Tenn. 385 project By Tom Charlier Contact March 28, 2005 In a costly effort to avoid trampling some of the Memphis area's most sensitive wetlands, Tennessee officials plan to build a highway bridge over the Wolf River that will be so long it could traverse many stretches of the Mighty Mississippi. The length of the planned Tenn. 385 span on the northern edge of Collierville will be 3,200 feet -- some six-tenths of a mile. That's more than four times the 720-foot length initially planned. But the length isn't the only aspect of the bridge that's growing: The change will add as much as $12 million to the cost of the highway project. "It's a big one. It'll span 91/2 acres of wetlands," said Tennessee Department of Transportation biologist Matt Richards. Tenn. 385 is a four-lane, interstate-grade highway being built as a part of an outer loop around much of Memphis. The bridge will be included in a seven-mile section between Tenn. 57 and the Macon Road area that's estimated to cost between $53 million and $63 million. Within the next month or so, TDOT is expected to apply for a federal Clean Water Act permit authorizing the bridge. No timetable for the beginning of construction has been set yet. TDOT revised its plans for the Wolf crossing to minimize damage to the wide swath of forested wetlands on either side of the river. Bridging swamps is more expensive than putting the highway on earthen fill. But it allows for the ebb and flow of water between the river and its bottomlands, which is critical to aquatic life and waterfowl. The bridge plans won praise from environmentalists. "We're excited about any effort to lessen the impact to the Wolf's wetlands," said Keith Kirkland, executive director of the Wolf River Conservancy. The extended bridge is not the only component of TDOT's efforts to reduce wetland damage. The alignment for most of the highway is far to the east of Collierville-Arlington Road. But at the Wolf, it swings westward so the bridge can be built adjacent to the existing Collierville-Arlington span. "If you've got to cross the river, and you've already got a major crossing like (Collierville-Arlington), the closer you can stick to that, the better," Richards said. To compensate for the swamp acreage that does get harmed in the project, TDOT has purchased credits in a wetlands mitigation "bank" -- a site where previously drained areas are restored. Roger Allan, a biologist with the Corps of Engineers, which would issue the Clean Water Act permit, said the bridge has been the topic of discussions with TDOT officials. The talks were conducted "just to make sure any wetland impacts will be minimized," he said.

We've been routinely bridging wetlands for over half a decade now, even though the cost has been estimated to be over $100 million so far. One of my projects had a 100' long bridge get extended to nearly 1000' just to span a wetland. John Lansford, PE -- The unofficial I-26 Construction Webpage: http://users.vnet.net/lansford/a10/
