Abstract:

The US$232 million kcICON Design-Build Project includes the design and construction of a landmark bridge over the Missouri River and reconstruction of over six kilometers of Interstate- 29/35 in Kansas City, Missouri. The new bridge is almost 42 meters wide and approximately 518 meters long including approach spans. The suspended portion of the bridge consists of a composite steel and concrete, asymmetrical cable-stayed system with a main span of 168 meters and a side span of 138 meters. The striking, diamond-shaped pylon rises over 91 meters off the water and creates a natural gateway between the communities of North Kansas City and Kansas City. The aesthetic lighting features a kinetic lighting system with diode panels mounted to the edge girders to allow an infinite number of lighting shows across the length of the bridge, from simple one-color panels to complex color changing events.
