Wakota Ramp Bridge

TKDA provided essential bridge design for complicated ramp connection

As part of the larger Wakota Bridge project on Interstate 494, TKDA was hired by Minnesota Department of Transportation to design a ramp bridge connecting Highway 61 and I-494. The ramp bridge crosses two existing and one future track of Canadian Pacific Railway and one existing and one future track of Burlington Northern Santa Fe Railway. TKDA’s long-standing relationship with the two railroad companies made this project a perfect fit.

TKDA’s design called for 172.8-meter four-span steel bridge consisting of curved welded plate girder spans with a cast-in-place concrete deck. The bridge also included separate concrete overlay and concrete barrier traffic rails, as well as two parapet style abutments and three hammerhead style piers for support.
