IDOT said that they have already drilled 239 shafts — up to 10 feet in diameter and 20 to 30 feet deep — and that footing construction was set to begin last week.

Dump Trucks Columbus OH Insight:
In September, IDOT announced that it planned to use a Y-shaped pier to support the I-74 bridge. The pier type requires an intersection of reinforcing steel and concrete, a design that the agency has been testing for structural performance prior to building the 60 necessary for bridge construction.
Back in May of last year, IDOT proposed a five-year, $3.5 billion bridge and highway upgrade and repair program, which included $1.2 billion dedicated to bridge maintenance. The Iowa Transportation Commission approved the program in June 2016.
Although Iowa and other states have developed their own bridge and highway repair programs, the magnitude of the columbus oh dump truck company that needs to be done is so large that it is unlikely that all states could find a way to afford it. According to the most recent American Road and Transportation Builders Association (ARTBA) report, approximately 9% of all U.S. bridges are structurally deficient and it would cost $700 billion repair them all.
But Iowa has turned its data on the state of its bridges into a handy public tool. In October, Data-Smart City Solutions reported that the Iowa geographic information systems (GIS) workers created an interactive map — based on IDOT inspections — of the state's more than 24,000 bridges, emphasizing their condition and serviceability. Although the GIS team first produced the map so that Iowa lawmakers could get a better idea of the condition of the state's bridges, drivers can now use the map to keep tabs on bridge conditions and repairs. \
