Broadway Bridge Replacement Under Way in Boise By Andrea Watts CEG CORRESPONDENT
Broadway Avenue is billed as the gateway into Boise, and this gateway is receiving a makeover with the construction of a new Broadway Bridge that is slated to open later this fall. Since fall 2012, the Idaho Transportation
Department (ITD) has shepherded this $20.2 million-dollar project through its design and environmental review phases, and earlier this year, construction finally began. When describing the significance of the Broadway Bridge to Boise, Daris Bruce, the resident

Now with the piers installed and the last girder set into place, crews no longer have to work inside the river channel when the river flows are up.
Engineered Timber Could Boost Wood Products Industry By Dylan Darling THE (EUGENE) REGISTER-GUARD
EUGENE, Ore. (AP) Solid as steel. Sturdy as concrete. Cross-laminated timber carries these claims and hopes for boosting Oregon’s wood products industry. The engineered wood product is made by gluing together layers of boards, such as 2by-4s, 2-by-6s and 2-by-8s. The resulting panels can be used in place of steel or concrete in the construction of buildings. Advocates of the engineered wood say it has the potential to become a major product in commercial construction. But advocates acknowledge that a couple of things would have to happen first. Building codes in the United States will have to be revised to allow the use of panels in large buildings, and architects, developers and builders will
have to demand the material for their projects. Cross-laminated timber has been made for years in Europe, and it’s catching on in Canada. However, D.R. Johnson lumber company in Riddle, south of Roseburg, is the only Oregon firm making the wood panels. And it’s the only company certified in the United States to manufacture the panels for use in building construction. Valerie Johnson, D.R. Johnson president, said cross-laminated timber could expand the market for wood products in the Northwest. An under construction building for the College of Education at Western Oregon University in Monmouth is the first structure to use the company’s panels. “We have interest coming from virtually every state in the West and Southwest,” Johnson said. “The breakthrough is building larger and taller structures with wood by
using very strong, very durable, large mass timber components.” Industry Benefits Most homes in the nation are built out of wood. Lumber and plywood are used for frames, roofs, floors and sidings. Johnson and others involved in the wood products industry hope the large wooden panels made of cross-laminated timber replace some of the concrete or steel in the construction of commercial buildings. Wood products-related companies would benefit, they say. And more Oregonians could work in the industry cutting timber, milling lumber and making the panels. “Innovations in wood products can add real value to our industry,” said Sara Duncan, spokeswoman of the Oregon Forest & Industries Council, an association of forest land owners and wood products compa-
nies. Timm Locke, of the Oregon Forest Resources Institute, called cross-laminated timber a “game changer” when describing what it could do for the wood products industry. “It could be as big a market as the residential market is right now,” he said. But for that to happen people who design and construct buildings would have to demand the engineered wood. And state building officials would need to approve codes allowing the construction of large, multi-story wooden buildings. The state Building Codes Division last year released rules for cross-laminated timber in construction, but final detailed codes may be a couple of years off. The product is the buzz of the state’s wood products industry. It was a hot topic at see WOOD page 13

Summer Construction...
Company Scraps I-90 Facelift: WSDOT’s Paving Projects Pipeline Project in Issaquah, Bellevue, North Bend After decades of wear and tear, some well-traveled portions of Interstate 90 on Seattle’s Eastside are getting a much-needed facelift. This summer, contractor crews working for the Washington State Department of Transportation will restore portions of the interstate in two separate projects — the first in Issaquah and Bellevue and the second in North Bend. Both projects will repave the roadway to fix cracks and potholes, as well as repair and replace worn bridge expansion joints. “Cracks, potholes and deep wheel ruts are signs of a heavily traveled freeway by commuters and truckers,” said Mark Sawyer, WSDOT project engineer. “This work will provide a smoother and safer ride for drivers, and help preserve this vital east-west freight route.” First up: Issaquah and Bellevue paving and expansion joints between milepost 12.5, west of Eastgate, and milepost 10.4, east of the Interstate 405 interchange. More than 4.5 mi. (7.2 km) of westbound I-90 between West Lake Sammamish Parkway and the I-405 interchange will be repaved during the course of the project. Work includes: • Replacing pavement where there are large cracks and wheel ruts. • Repaving I-90 over Richards Road and West Lake Sammamish Parkway, as well as the westbound West Lake Sammamish Parkway on- and off- ramps. • Replacing four bridge expansion joints over West Lake Sammamish Parkway. • Closing westbound I-90 for one night at the I-405 interchange to excavate and repair a section of roadway near Richards Road. The date has not been scheduled. A signed detour will be in place.
Lakeside Industries Inc. is completing this $5.7 million project for WSDOT, with crews working nightly Monday through Thursday. Work will be complete by the end of fall 2016. Next: North Bend I-90 paving — both directions of I-90 between the South Fork Snoqualmie River and State Route 202 will be repaved beginning in mid-June. Work will take place nightly Monday through Thursday and includes: • Removing the top 2 in. (5 cm) of the existing roadway and repaving with new asphalt. • Replacing five concrete panels. • Repairing concrete surrounding the expansion joints of I-90 across the South Fork Snoqualmie River. While crews are on the road, at least a single lane of I-90 will remain open at all times until the $2.5 million project is completed by Lakeside Industries Inc. in August. What Drivers Should Expect Nighttime drivers should plan ahead for delays due to lane and ramp closures, and allow extra time to travel through the area. Lane-closure information will be available on the King County construction update report. Project Benefits This work benefits drivers by: • Preserving vital infrastructure for commuters and freight. • Saving money on maintenance needs and emergency repairs. • Providing a safer, smoother ride for drivers.

Judge Orders Army Corps to Pay Yakama Nation for Island Cleanup YAKIMA, Wash. (AP) The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers has been ordered to pay the Yakama Nation for costs related to cleaning up a contaminated island in Washington’s Columbia River. The Yakama Nation sued the Corps in 2014, arguing that tribal members weren’t compensated for helping plan the cleanup of Bradford Island, reported The Yakima Herald. The island is a historical tribal fishing spot, but it also became a dumping ground for waste from the Bonneville Dam for decades. Lead, mercury, PCBs and petroleum chemicals leaked into the Columbia River, resulting in warnings
against eating fish caught in the area. U.S. District Court of Oregon Judge Anna Brown ruled earlier this week that the tribe’s cleanup costs should be covered under Superfund laws. But she denied the tribe’s motion to be reimbursed for prohibiting fishing in the island area. Brown wrote in an order that the issue will have to be sorted out in trail. “For decades, the Corps dumped toxic waste directly into the Columbia River and on Bradford Island,” said JoDe Goudy, chairman of the Yakama Nation. “The Yakama Nation was forced to take the Corps to court to do what it
should have done in the first place — pay for the tribe’s costs and allow it a seat at the table to make critical decisions about cleanup that affect our treaty fishing rights,” added Goudy. The tribe’s attorney, David Askman, said he believes the decision sets and important precedent for tribes trying to protect their resources. “To our knowledge, this is the first time a tribe has received its costs of action under Superfund laws by a court of law,” he said.

WARRENTON, Ore. (AP) An energy company that wanted to export liquefied natural gas from the northwest Oregon coast will withdraw from the $6 billion terminal and pipeline project, city officials in Warrenton said. Warrenton Mayor Mark Kujala told the Daily Astorian that Oregon LNG officials told him the project was being scrapped because backers were no longer willing to put up the money. “That is exactly what I heard from Oregon LNG,” Kujala said. “They would be withdrawing the project.” A phone message left for company officials by The Associated Press was not immediately returned. Kristin Grainger, a spokeswoman of Oregon Gov. Kate Brown, said the company had withdrawn state permits for the project. “Public input is critical to the process, and from the outset, the project struggled to build sufficient community support,” she said. Oregon LNG had proposed a terminal in northwest Oregon and an 87-mi. (140 km) pipeline to link with a natural gas connector in Washington state. The company wanted to export natural gas from western Canada and the Rocky Mountains to markets in Asia.
“Public input is critical to the process, and from the outset, the project struggled to build sufficient community support.” Kristin Grainger Gov. Kate Brown Spokeswoman
Skip Urling, Warrenton’s community development director, said he was told Oregon LNG would not proceed with an appeal of a city hearings officer’s decision to deny the terminal. A hearing on the company’s appeal had been scheduled for early May. Oregon LNG had said the project would be an economic boon to the area. A draft federal environmental review had estimated terminal construction over four years would generate more than 9,500 jobs. Oregon LNG would have eventually employed about 145 workers. But a coalition of residents, environmentalists and fishermen blasted the project, saying it was misguided and potentially dangerous. Brett VandenHeuvel, executive director of Columbia Riverkeepers, one of the groups opposed to the project, said “this is a huge victory.” Oregon Sen. Ron Wyden said in a statement that opponents had raised valid concerns. “I shared the concerns that the Oregon LNG project would have had negative environmental and economic impacts, and I am relieved that local voices prevailed,” said Wyden, a Democrat.

Landslide Cuts Off Road to Elk City By Lori Tobias CEG CORRESPONDENT
A landslide that closed Idaho State Highway 14 in February has turned out to be more than twice the job anticipated. “It ended up being much larger than the Idaho Department of Transportation thought,” said Ryan West, vice president of the Spokane-based West Company Inc. “They have since performed geologic evaluations and we’re in the realm of 200,000 to 250,000 cu. yds. of material removal. It was contracted at 100,000 cu. yds.” So far, contractors have removed about 50,000 cu. yds. (38,228 cu m), West said. They stabilize the landslide area, working with Portland, Ore.’s Landslide Technology on slope stabilization means and methods, as they work. They are currently renegotiating the $1.37 million contract to address the additional work. The biggest challenge came in the form of a boulder that was the size of a two-story house. West crews first built a 300-ft. (91.44 m) road to access the boulder, then drilled holes in the top and used explosives to reduce the boulder. The challenge ahead is hauling the volume of material to a permanent dumpsite, West said. He expects crews will be on site until late summer. “We have quite the equipment list,” he said. “We have two D8 dozers, two 25-metric ton excavators, one
45-ton excavator, 12 side dump trucks, a D6 waste Caterpillar and multiple support vehicles. I want to say it’s going to be mid-August before things are back to normal.” There is currently safety access with a catchment area. The slide closed State Highway 14 at milepost 39 on Feb. 18, bringing down 100,000 cu. yds. (76,455.5 cu m) of material, including the house-sized boulder perched precariously 200 ft. (61 m) above the highway, and leaving in its wake massive amounts more that must still be brought down. The highway is the only public road to Elk City and few other small towns and left residents facing a 20-mi. (32 km) detour until they could build safe access. The massive boulder was just one of the headaches crews faced, said Mel Coulter, ITD emergency program manager. “The challenges are, first of all, the extremely steep terrain that we are working in,” Coulter said. “The hill adjacent to the highway that gave way is probably a 37-percent slope that extends 600 feet to the top of the slide. There is not only all the material that has come down, but a lot still up there that is real vulnerable. “Another complication early on was the continuing rain. The ground was saturated, making the slide even more
Rising Construction Costs...
Officials Nix $6M Seismic Upgrades to Eugene City Hall EUGENE, Ore. (AP) The Eugene City Council tabled a proposal that would have added expensive seismic upgrades and private offices to City Hall. The Register-Guard reports that councilors approved the design of the planned four-story building while eliminating some of the more costly upgrades. Earlier this month project manager Mike Penwell said the proposed project would cost between $24 million and $25 million, more than $6 million above the $17.85 million budget the council authorized in late 2014. The high cost was attributed to rising construction costs and inflation was well as the seismic upgrades and individual offices. Penwell said it is unclear if dropping those upgrades will scale back the project’s price. For more information, visit http://www.registerguard.com.

unstable. Even before we could start doing much with it, we had to extend a new road from a forest service road to the top of the slide so contractors could reach the top and push material down. We had a private contractor who had to log off a bunch of loose and threatening timber at the top of the slide. It’s a multi-faceted approach and complication.” Safety also is a big concern, not unlike the environment following an earthquake when severely damaged buildings remain standing, Coulter said. “It’s the opposite approach to building a house. We have to start at the top and move things downhill to attack it that way.” If the boulder had gone down before crews were able to dynamite it, it likely would have clogged the river. Fortunately, no one was hurt in the slide, but it must have felt like a very close call for some ITD workers. “Our crews were at the location cleaning up some rock that had fallen earlier in the slide area when the slide came down,” Coulter said. “One crew member was able to get out of the way and capture the slide on video.” A slide occurred in the same area in the 1980s.

Rerouting Mt. Hood’s Timberline Trail Begins This Summer Hikers of the Pacific Northwest have a great reason to celebrate: the Eliot Glacier crossing on Timberline Trail #600 is scheduled to be repaired. The trail will be rerouted this summer with the goal of completing the project in 2017 depending on weather conditions. The project will be completed by forest staff working with volunteers and contractors. Forest engineering and recreation specialists have determined that a permanent bridge structure is not feasible at this location so have opted to re-locate this section of trail. The new trail location should make it easier and safer for hikers to complete the roughly 40-mi. (64.4 km) loop around Mt. Hood. “We’re thrilled to begin work on rerouting this trail to the new location so that crossing this area is safer for hikers,” said Claire Pitner, east side recreation manager for the Mt. Hood National Forest. “The 1.5 mile reroute will minimize exposure to loose boulders which otherwise could pose as hazards for hikers.”
“We are doing our best to provide a safer crossing that will remain in the same location for many years to come.” Claire Pitner Mt. Hood National Forest
The old route that crossed the Eliot Glacier field was destroyed by a debris flow in November 2006. The event washed away a temporary bridge that was seasonally installed along the trail as well as part of the existing trail. Timberline Trail #600 is the only “round the mountain” trail on the Mt. Hood National Forest and is an extremely popular and challenging hiking opportunity. Recreation managers have been working with engineering for the last decade to come up with a sustainable engineering solution and necessary funding to complete the needed repairs. Both goals proved challenging due to the unstable nature of mountain geology and the cost of various options through the years. The planned crossing will be below the

previous crossing location and will be more protected from the scouring action of the stream as the Eliot Branch makes its way down the mountain. There is still a possibility that the route could be impacted by a large scale debris flow, but this is something that is unavoidable in large, geologically active areas. The trail has been rerouted across the Eliot Branch many times over the decades due to similar debris flow events. This new location for the crossing will hopefully lead to fewer hiking disruptions and new opportunities for hikers to experience the wonder of Mt. Hood. “We tried to locate the trail so that it would be minimally impacted on an annual basis by changes in glacial flow, but we have to keep in mind that the ground on Mt. Hood is constantly changing,” said Pitner. “We are doing our best to provide a safer crossing that will remain in the same location for many years to come.” For information, call 541/352-1248 or visit http://www.fs.fed.us/.

SEATTLE (AP) A coal-export terminal proposed along the Columbia River in southwest Washington state could have unavoidable, significant impacts on greenhouse gases emissions, vessel traffic and rail safety, according to an environmental review. The analysis by the Washington Department of Ecology and Cowlitz County found that greenhouse gas emissions — from facility operations to when the coal is burned in Asia — would increase by 2.75 million tons (2.5 million t) each year when the project is fully running. While measures can be taken to significantly reduce those emissions, the impact “would still be significant and adverse,” the study noted. Other concerns include increased vessel traffic as 840 ships a year are added, and a potential for train accidents along rail routes in Cowlitz County and other parts of Washington as up to 16 mi. (25.7 km) -long train trips are added each day. The study found the project could impact 21 of 23 areas reviewed, and that some of those consequences are significant, Ecology said in a statement. The review looked at fish habitat, water quality, local communities and other issues, and proposed ways for the project developers to reduce those effects. Millennium Bulk Terminals-Longview is proposing a terminal that would handle up to 48.5 million tons (44 million t) of coal a year. Coal would arrive by train from the Powder River Basin in Montana and Wyoming and the Uinta Basin in Utah and Colorado to be stored and loaded on ships for export to Asia. Construction could begin in 2018. Lighthouse Resources Inc., formerly known as Ambre Energy, owns 62 percent of Millennium and Arch Coal Inc. the other 38 percent. Lighthouse owns the Decker Mine in Montana and the Black Butte Mine in southwestern Wyoming. Millennium CEO Bill Chapman said in a statement that the project is a step closer to creating family-wage jobs in Longview while meeting the state’s strict environmental standards. Business and some labor groups also expressed support, saying the project would
create jobs, boost the local economy and strengthen the state’s trade capacity. “This is an important project for Washington state, and for the people of Cowlitz County and Southwest Washington searching for good paying jobs,” said Kris Johnson, president of the Association of Washington Business. But environmental, citizens and other groups said that the review confirms their concerns about wide-ranging impacts from moving millions of tons of coal through the Northwest and burning it in Asia. Opponents said the review acknowledges the negative consequences of the project but falls short because it relies on mitigation measures that aren’t proven. The study said air pollution from coal dust at the site and along rail lines would be below federal air quality standards. It also said coal dust would exceed nuisance levels, but it would not be significant impact since state or federal standards do not apply. Regulators recommended coal loaded on trains be sprayed with a substance at the mine site and in Pasco, Wash., to reduce coal dust. Steve Charter, a Montana rancher, said in a statement that the Washington coal port is also bad news for his state. He said rail towns would have to deal with traffic delays, diesel exhaust and other consequences. The study found that without rail and road improvements, the increased train traffic would create long vehicle delays during rush hour at railroad crossings in Cowlitz County and beyond. It said crossings in Spokane County would have the largest increases in vehicle delays. The public can comment on the study through June 13, and at three public hearings scheduled in May and June. Regulators plan to incorporate those comments into a final review, a process that could take a year or longer. The state and county received a record number of comments — more than 215,000 — earlier in its review. The Army Corps of Engineers, meanwhile, is doing its own separate environmental review. A spokeswoman said a draft is expected in September. (This story also can be found on Construction Equipment Guide’s Web site at www.constructionequipmentguide.com.)

Neighbors Have Say in Broadway Bridge’s New Design BROADWAY from page 1
engineer with ITD for the project, said, “You can’t get any closer to the center of town, closer to the center of activities, closer to the center of the community than this bridge.” The new Broadway Bridge is the third iteration to span the Boise River; the first was built in 1892, and the second bridge, which existed until a few months ago, was built in 1956. With average daily trips (ADTs) totaling over 24,000, the bridge started showing its age in recent years. “It’s standard for ITD to inspect our bridges every other year,” said Mark Campbell, a project manager of the Idaho Transportation Department. “But for the Broadway Bridge, we had to inspect it every year, and with it slowly deteriorating, it was approved for replacement.” A replacement could then accommodate Boise’s future growth — an estimated 37,700 ADTs by 2037 — and also safely serve other users including bicyclists and pedestrians. The previous bridge hadn’t been designed to accommodate both vehicles and cyclists. ITD’s vision of the new bridge was for it to have a 100-year service life, and Bruce said that “because of the location and considering the fact that this bridge will be relied upon to provide service for the next 100 years, we needed to upgrade the bridge to current highway standards and make it acceptable by all stakeholders and to the entities involved.” Because of Broadway Bridge’s significance to the surrounding Boise neighborhoods — Boise State University to the south and St. Luke’s Regional Medical Center to the north — and the impacts of the construction upon the community, commuters and businesses, ITD embarked on an aggressive outreach strategy “that went above and beyond other construction projects” to educate the public as to why the bridge needed to be replaced. Beginning in fall 2012, a number of stakeholder meetings were held, in addition to two public open houses. During the series of design workshops that began in 2013, the ITD design team solicited feedback from the

public on the proposed bridge design until the unveiling of the final design in December 2015. “As the meetings progressed, the detail got a little deeper and deeper until we came up with the final product,” Campbell said. In response to their outreach efforts, he added that the community members “really felt like they were part of the decision making, which they actually were. They felt like they were being listened to.” One of the design elements the public requested was reducing the number of piers in the river to
avoid impacting the river’s flow and also to benefit the recreationalists who float down the river. This was a design request that motivated the team to come up with a design structure that impacted the river even less than the original design, Campbell said. The final design resulted in a five-span bridge with six vehicle lanes, two 6.5-ft. (1.9 m) bike lanes, and 10-ft. (3.04 m) wide sidewalks. Three 18-ft. wide (5.48 m) belvederes provide viewpoints, and the curved railing design runsee BROADWAY page 14 Idaho Airships courtesy of AECOM photo
Following the placement of the 33 girders, work this spring consists of building of the bridge deck, and work will also commence on the greenbelt and pedestrian and bicyclist access points.

Industry Calls for Use of Wood in Commercial Construction WOOD from page 1
the Oregon Logging Conference in February in Eugene and the Mass Timber Conference in March in Portland. Oregon State University researchers and architects at the University of Oregon are calling for the use of wood in commercial building construction. Manufacturing Process The size of cross laminated timber panels vary. D.R. Johnson, for example, can produce panels as large as 10-by-24 ft. (3-by-7.3 m), but once new equipment at the company’s mill is installed, the firm will be able to make panels as large as 10-by-30 ft. (3-by-9 m). The panels are made by gluing boards together. The pieces used to make the panels vary in thickness, depending if they are made of three, five or seven boards. The thickest pieces measure about 10 and 1/2 in. (26.67 cm). Lumber mills can custom-make pieces of cross-laminated timber to meet project specifications.
“They go in very quickly and quietly,” and result in little waste, said Judith Sheine, a UO architecture professor. The engineered wood product has Northwest advocates, such as Michael Green, a Vancouver, B.C., architect, whose firm recently opened a Portland office. Green spoke at the Oregon Logging Conference. He’s pushing for skyscrapers made with crosslaminated timber. “Eventually I see a world built with these beautiful buildings,” Green said. Cross-laminated timber structures already exist or are going up elsewhere in the state. The Oregon Zoo Elephant Lands visitor center was partly built with the panels. The Albina Yard office building in northeast Portland is being built with the engineered wood. OSU in Corvallis plans to use the wood product in new buildings for the College of Forestry. More projects will come from architects calling for the material, Sheine said. The look and versatility of the
wood product could draw design interest, she said. UO building design instructors have joined OSU forest product researchers to test wood products, including cross-laminated timber, to see how they perform in buildings. The panels are tested to see how they hold up in fires and earthquakes, as well as how they absorb sound. The tests could help the state approve new building codes permitting the use of wood panels in commercial structures. Glenwood Project A cross-laminated timber building could one day be built in Glenwood, the area long identified for redevelopment between Eugene and Springfield. Springfield Mayor Christine Lundberg has said she wants a Glenwood parking garage to be built with the engineered wood. “It would be a signature piece,” she said. “It should spark the imagination of what we could potentially do.” But the area first would have to
be redeveloped, perhaps with a hotel or conference center, which would create demand for a parking garage. And money must be found to pay for it. Based on an early design, a fourstory 214,000-sq.-ft. (19,881 sq m) structure that holds 360 cars would cost an estimated $65 to $95 per sq. ft., or between $13.9 million to $20.3 million. The cost for a similar garage made from steel and concrete would be in the same range, said Courtney Griesel, a senior management analyst of economic development for Springfield. Last month, the city of Springfield submitted details for a potential parking garage to a crosslaminated timber contest sponsored by Oregon BEST, a state agency that encourages environmentally friendly innovations. UO students helped design the Glenwood parking structure. More than two dozen students last year split into nine teams, said Sheine, the UO architecture professor who is head of the architecture department.
Each team created their vision for the garage. Springfield planners used elements from the students’ designs in the contest submittal to Oregon BEST. Winning or sharing top contest honors could bring in up to $200,000 for design and testing, according to Oregon BEST. The two other teams in the contest have designs for an engineered wood products home in Scappoose, and an eight-story, mixed-use building in north Portland. Oregon BEST is expected to announce the winner this month. Griesel said a parking garage made of wood would show the possibilities of cross-laminated timber, and inspire more building with it. “Oftentimes with new ideas for product application we are little wary if we haven’t seen it in action, or see how it all fits together,” she said.

Knife River was awarded the bid and commenced work in January 2016. The winter phase of the construction consisted of bridge demolition and pile driving to complete the foundation of the bridge structure. Campbell said they did this work while river flows were down, and because of the potential environmental impacts this work would cause, Bruce said that in the beginning there were numerous special interest groups watching activities closely. “We continue to exercise our typical due diligence to make sure we are working within the permitted parameters,” he said. almost better than we expected,” that it’s a very unique feature that “Throughout construction, we he said, “and the concerns from the we’ve included,” Campbell said, have been in contact with various neighborhoods haven’t been an adding that the public can see their suggestions coming into play as organizations that were interested issue.” The Broadway Project website the bridge is being constructed in different aspects of the project.
