Sectors
The Mississippi River Trail through the City of Ramsey had some missing segments. Bolton & Menk assisted in completing the Mississippi River Trail through the city. The project was constructed in several segments, consisting of a total of 4.75 miles, with each segment receiving federal funding.
The project included design of a pedestrian bridge across an oxbow of the Mississippi River, crossing at TH 10 and connecting to the North Star Commuter Rail station in Ramsey. The bridge includes a steel beam span connecting to the station, several prestressed concrete beam spans, two 105-foot steel bowstring arch through truss spans, and a cast-in-place reinforced concrete slab tying into a helical approach ramp with a cantilevered deck system. Residents can now enjoy the completed trail without loss of connection.
