Kozeny-Wagner Company has been awarded the contract for the rebuilding of the Delmar Blvd. Bridge over Metrolink by the The City of St. Louis, Board of Public Service.
This necessary work was (happily) postponed during the shut-down of the Forest Park Parkway, at the request of our Alderman Lyda Krewson. Now, with the parkway once again open, and before the I-40-64 closure impact, is the right time to rebuild the bridge.
Also at Krewson’s urging, the project will involve only one side of the bridge at a time, so one lane in each direction will still be open and traffic will be able to go over the bridge during construction, expected to last about a year. Two weekend Metrolink shutdowns will be necessary as each side is demolished, one at a time.
The Wabash Station building, now owned by Joe Edwards, will be monitored closely during construction!
