BNSF Willow Springs Siding Extension & Grade Separation

Project OverviewDescripción del proyecto

Emery Sapp & Sons served as the general contractor in the BNSF Willow Springs project. This project added over a mile of siding extension to the existing BNSF Thayer North mainline track, near Willow Springs, Missouri.

The siding consisted of constructing a new three-span precast bridge, 45,000 cubic yards of excavation and grading, and 12,000 tons of sub-ballast. The project also required the construction of a new three-span bridge over the BNSF railroad in order to eliminate an existing at-grade city street crossing. The overpass consisted of 100,000 cubic yards of embankment and 1,600 tons of asphalt pavement. Precast girders totaled 907 linear feet and driven piles exceeded 3,300 linear feet. Concrete work totaled 707 square yards and included the slab for the three-span bridge.
