RE: [CBQ] Oregon Truss Bridge Length/Height

No.  The alignment charts show them as 132'.  There are 2 - 132' trusses, and 4 - 66'-8" deck plate girders.  The bridge is symmetrical with 2 girder spans on the east end, then the 2 truss spans, and the other two girder spans on the west end.  I checked the length of the trusses on google earth, and they are very close to 132'.  Google earth also shows the total length of the bridge at about 535 feet, which checks with the Q bridge record length of 537.3'.

Glen,

 

That would be great.  Just a WAG - though - 150' spans?

I will try to find out if there is a Tengwall diagram for this bridge.  If so, it will give some detail.  It may be after New Year's.

I'm hoping someone can tell me the length and height of the two truss bridges across the west branch of the Rock River at Oregon.  I'm thinking that they are both 150' and the BLMA truss bridge would be a good model for these bridges. Looking at the BLMA pictures, they look really close - possibly worried about the height.  Anyone have the actual length/height?

 

Thanks,

 

Rich G.
