Billings Bypass Yellowstone River Bridge (Time-lapse Video)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 14 жов 2024
- Time-lapse video of Montana Department of Transportation construction of bridge over the Yellowstone River. This bridge, constructed by Wadsworth Brothers Construction, was completed in 2022. It is part of the overall Billings Bypass project and will provide a connection between Lockwood and the Billings Heights when the project is complete. For more information, please see the project website: www.mdt.mt.gov...
Great piece of infrastructure that should serve community and visitors for a long time.
If they ever get it opened. Been completed for almost two years now and they are saying at least another before it is usable. Seems that the college educated morons neglected to get RR right of way and private landowner right of way for the infrastructure to be put in to get to the bridge. Great planning!
if only it was usable...
Great video. Camped there in 2022 during the terrible flooding at YNP. The river was very high here too.
Great men built that. Awesome
if only it was usable...
Beautiful structure with a separate bike/walking path on the western side. Much as I hated to see road built thru our gorgeous Dover Park, they’ve done a good job of mitigating many of our problems. I look forward to the south side roadway being completed.
Hoping for a river Access site with it. Across from dover park. More the better
❤wish I was driving my old yellow car , beautiful video well done,
Nice bridge and time lapse. Might wanna get that company and crew to head over to Maryland. They could use a bridge or two.
Loved it, great time lapse.
The ingenuity of humankind is great. If only it could be used for good always, like this project. Well done.
That's exactly how they built the last 4 bridges here. It can't fall apart.
True perfection. America at its best..
Neat video. The piers look a little spindly.
Muy bien. Felicitaciones.
Need more of it in USA 🇺🇲 with the identified Motorways!
Good work!
Nice time lapse, thanks! When can we drive across it?
The bridge/overpass over the railroad and Coulson Road is under construction now. As soon as it’s completed a temporary connection to Coulson Road will allow public use of the new river crossing, even before the rest of the entire Billings Bypass project is completed. The railroad overpass is anticipated to be completed sometime in 2025. You can learn more on the project website: www.mdt.mt.gov/pubinvolve/billingsbypass/railroad.aspx
@@MontanaDOTI have fished the river there during the sauger run.Great fishing in that area.
Not until 2025
Beautiful bridge.Wonder how long it will take for the Mustangs,Corvettes,and Hellcats to initiate its span?
Very proud of all the builders😂🎉
How long is it from start to finish in the video? The service bridge was put in quick. How long did that take?
I know the guy that made this video. He said it covered 18 months of footage. Great guy and great company. They can make videos like this for long term projects.
@@Torchify Thank you! It was awesome
Very very cool thing to see being built by real union professionals.
Thanks for the terrific upload. Great job. Old bridge probably didn't have a walkway, did it? Mar. 13, 2024. St.Joseph, MO, USA.
Oops, there was no old bridge. Warren
This is definitely not a Chinese ONE BELT ONE ROAD INITIATIVE, It is all AMERICAN, PRIDE in the JOB. GOOD on you AMERICA. 06 03 2024 UK
Except for the Chinese manufactured Bridge trusses.
@@censured-again🤣😂😂👏👏
@@censured-again Yeah right. Worst case, the steel is from Mexico
Is the bottom of the bridge going to be enclosed and insulated to allow minimum heating be done to keep the bridge deck from freezing and turning to ice.
Good evening, I have seen this bridge, but the supports are weak and the ground is not strong under the bridge
Now, only if MontanaDOT could fix the I-80 EB “exit” to itself, I-80 EB to Hardin/Sheridan, WY; it’s only one lane and way too sharp. Big trucks have to slow way down, then slog up the long hill away from Lockwood…
I-90
I-80 goes from Cheyenne to Omaha. You must mean I-90
Bravo.......rusted.........no paint?.......
Rust is the new paint . Alot of steel power transmission poles are left bare now....
Was a membrane put down over the concrete before paving?
There is a polymer overlay over the concrete on the bridge deck. A polymer overlay is a two-part epoxy product that adheres the aggregate to the deck that will seal the deck and provide an additional wear surface. There is no pavement on the bridge itself.

how long before they are back painting the steel structure of this and sandblasting all the rust off
They used a type of steel that doesn't need painting. The oxide (rust) layer on the outside remains hard and slows corrosion way down. Just look at the U.S. Steel Tower in Pitsburgh. It was made of Cort-ten steel 50 years ago, and has never been painted, and will outlive everyone alive today.
why all that rust though?
How long does it take to complete to make this bridge?
The bridge was predominantly complete in one construction season. Construction of the structure began on November 19, 2020, and the last deck pour was on November 18, 2021. The remainder of work was completed by July 2022.
good get brother good get
So they built a bridge to build a bridge? Then took the bridge down they first built
It was a working platform not a bridge.
Yeah, makes it faster. After all, time is money.
Good. Ok
Anybody going to paint that raw steel ????
Why is this known as "the bridge to nowhere?"
Because it goes nowhere. No road there and they built the bridge and now it is unusable. Maybe by fall of 2025 there will be a messed up access to it but not until 2027 or 2028 will the entire project be done. They also screwed up and are putting a diverging diamond at the Johnson lane exit when they should have put off ramps and connection to this bridge from the I 90 - I 94 interchange and then there would have been another way out of Lockwood and then do Johnson lane diverging diamond. But Noooo! all of Lockwood residents have to put up with MDOT stupidity for at least 5 more years because The Lockwood exit is next. Knowing MDOT they will start that project right after Johnson lane is started and screw up the only 2 ways in and out of Lockwood!
@@skidoorulz4914 someone told me the only reason this bridge was built was because the land was owned by one of the county commissioners and he got stupid none for it. Don’t know if there is any truth to that.
My friend, the bridge needs strong, wide, longitudinal and sturdy supports made of concrete and iron. ............................. This bridge cannot carry trucks.
Интересно, а почему металлические балки не покрасили? Это специальный металл, который некорродирует?
Да.специальная технология.
Engineering design, materials and construction technology has improved and changed in light years of speed in recent years. Most of current bridge building work today was only something considered impossible 50 years ago.
Compare dial telephone technology to cell phones of today. What is a wire? A telephone pole?
You don't paint the steel beams? I would think painting with weather protection or powder coat or anything would prolong the life of the bridge and make it worth the effort. idk but personally as a tax payer I would rather spend up front than risk it
Not to worry. When the bridge exceeds the limits of its design and materials life, it cal be replaced more efficiently with new, stronger and easier things to work with built on a 3D "platform" of extrusion and completion on one afternoon (relative to today's methods) at one-tenth the cost of dollars and time.
A protoje of Elan's is thinking about it as we speak
Should have left it as it was! Instead of making a mess of lovely countryside!!!😮😮😮
14хгндц steel
to insure eventual bridge failure, always start with rusty steel...... you would really think that there would be corrosion protection applied before assembly then spot in any that gets damaged after its assembled but they use zero corrosion protection beforehand. i've never understood. i mean, sure...its all about the money but jesus, it's also about lives.maybe do it right the first time so it doesn't only have a lifespan of 50 years.
It's not rusty it's a special kind of steel, it's meant to be like that
Just had a new bridge built in Manitoba Canada and the same design, but the steel was epoxy coated, as it should be.
The bridge girders are made of weathering steel. This type of steel develops a surface layer of rust that actually serves as a protective layer.
A music video, pity
Mute is an option
Did the Billings beer drinking bear ever get out of jail?
The music junked another video 👎👎👎👎👎💩💩💩😬
