KCT HIGHLINE BRIDGE

The first step on the road to entertainment success was to get the bridge accessible and ready for the construction to come. We removed the railroad ties, track rail, spikes, plates and other mechanical items and sent them to our salvage yard for later use on the project. For example, the original rail will become a comfortable, yet stylish footrest at the future bar counter on the bridge! Because of the bridge’s history and future reputation, salvaging the majority of the bridge materials to repurpose into the final project has been a goal. With levee construction projects working concurrently on the west end of the bridge, the most challenging element of demo has been strategizing our demolition and construction access strictly from the east end, working from one direction.
