@RonSupportsYou @renewedresistance I will judge the potential of #PeteButtigieg to be an effective #POTUS by his reaction to being #swatted by a bigot. If all he does is say how horrendous it was for him and his family, he can FORGET ABOUT HIGHER OFFICE!

I expect that I am hardly alone in expecting politicians to be more than résumé builders.

Hint: His record as #Transportation Secretary was literally disastrous, and ‘Strike 1’.

Great Majority Of Las Piñas City Residents Support Dismantling Of C-5 Quirino Flyover To Make Way For LRT-1 Cavite Extension

A survey conducted by the office Las Piñas City Representative Mark Santos revealed more than eighty percent of local residents favor the dismantling of the C-5 Quirino Flyover to make way for the delayed LRT-1 Cavite Extension project, according to a news report by the Manila Standard.

To put things in perspective, posted below is an excerpt from the Manila Standard report. Some parts in boldface…

Nearly 82 percent of Las Piñas residents support dismantling the C-5 Quirino Flyover to allow immediate continuation of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension Project, a survey conducted by the office of Las Piñas Lone District Rep. Mark Anthony Santos showed.

Santos said the survey, which gathered comments from various social media platforms, found that many residents favor immediate construction of Phase 2 of the 3.2-kilometer LRT-1 Cavite Extension, including the Las Piñas and Zapote stations, over retaining the P300.39-million C-5 Quirino Flyover.

Respondents said the LRT-1 Cavite Extension would provide greater public benefit by reducing travel time, easing traffic congestion and delivering more efficient public transportation for commuters from Las Piñas, Parañaque and Cavite.

Many residents said the temporary inconvenience caused by dismantling part of the flyover would be a small sacrifice if it allowed the railway project to move forward and deliver long-term benefits to the public.

They said completing the LRT-1 Cavite Extension matters more than preserving an infrastructure project they consider a major obstacle to the railway’s completion.

Let me end this piece by asking you readers: If you are a resident of Las Piñas City, what is your reaction to this development? Do you favor dismantling the C-5 Quirino Flyover to make way for the completion of the LRT-1 Cavite Extension project?

“HIGHLIGHTS:
• Field surveys and flood modelling were used to evaluate the resilience of eight historic masonry arch bridges in County Offaly, Ireland, under projected fluvial flooding conditions.
• Results indicate that increased flood levels and hydraulic forces can significantly reduce bridge load-carrying capacity, with potential reductions of up to 40% due to buoyancy effects during extreme flood events.
• The study demonstrates a clear relationship between flood exposure and structural deterioration, emphasizing the need for structural health monitoring, maintenance strategies, and climate-resilient infrastructure management…
ABSTRACT: Masonry bridges, predominantly constructed from stone or brick, were a common feature of bridge engineering during the 18th and 19th centuries. However, these historic bridges are still in use today, but they are at risk due to various extreme climate conditions. Thus, these bridges are vulnerable to damage and needy for investigation. This paper offers an in-depth analysis of the projected impacts of fluvial flooding stemming from climate change on a number of masonry arch bridge structures located in county Offaly, Ireland. It evaluates bridge resilience by examining estimated flood levels alongside the overall condition of the structures. These assessments play a crucial role in determining the load-bearing capacity of the bridges and whether adjustment factors should be implemented. Particularly for bridges situated on primary and secondary roads with consistent heavy goods vehicle (HGV) traffic, the potential decrease in load-bearing capabilities warrants significant consideration. This study highlights concerns regarding the resilience of these historic structures and presents a valid argument regarding their suitability for contemporary environmental conditions and present-day activities…”

“The Roman Empire’s road system was critical for structuring the movement of people, goods and ideas, and sustaining imperial control. Yet, it remains incompletely mapped and poorly integrated across sources despite centuries of research. [They] present Itiner-e, the most detailed and comprehensive open digital dataset of roads in the entire Roman Empire. It was created by identifying roads from archaeological and historical sources, locating them using modern and historical topographic maps and remote sensing, and digitising them with road segment-level metadata and certainty categories. The dataset nearly doubles the known length of Roman roads through increased coverage and spatial precision, and reveals that the location of only 2.737% are known with certainty. This resource is transformative for understanding how mobility shaped connectivity, administration, and even disease transmission in the ancient world, and for studies of the millennia-long development of terrestrial mobility in the region…”

Spanning a River, a Century, and Two Lives Given for Us

Most of us don’t contemplate time in relation to everyday structures unless there is something unique or historic about it. We drive a highway, enter a building, walk a trail, cross a bridge, or climb a staircase without any thought of its existence beyond its utilitarian purpose.

Now and then an otherwise obscure structure will garner our attention merely by a fortuitous glance. That happened to this blog author and wife recently while we were traveling through southeast Kansas.

Just east of Independence, Kansas, while crossing the rain swollen Verdigris River on U.S. 160, I just happened to look to the right and saw an impressive four-span concrete through-arch bridge upriver from where we were. For the heck of it, we decided to circle back and take a closer look. Boy, are we ever glad we did.

The first thing noticed beyond the bridge’s handsome architecture was its birthdate engraved into the mortar…“1926.” Well now, we have ourselves a centenarian. This grand old bridge has survived the Depression; countless severe storms and tornadoes; snow, salt, wind, and ice; reckless divers; snowplows; heavy trucks and farm machinery, being bypassed by a strapping steel span, budget cuts, deferred maintenance, and who knows what else. Yet, the Old Route 160 Bridge (technically Montgomery County Bridge #628) across the Verdigris River has withstood all of these challenges and the test of time.

As noted earlier, Montgomery County Bridge #628 consists of four spans. It is a Rainbow (or Marsh) through-arch. The bridge has a total length of 434 feet with a main span of 122 feet and a width of 20 feet. It was built by the Fifield Construction Company of Waterloo, Iowa and Marsh Engineering Company of Des Moines. These two firms also combined forces to construct a similar, though shorter bridge in nearby Coffeyville that same year (1926).

– Source for the information in the previous paragraph: historic bridges.org

Montgomery County Bridge #628 was added to the National Register of History Places in 1983. It is the longest remaining Rainbow (or Marsh) Arch bridge in Kansas. James B. Marsh, founder of Marsh Engineering received a patent for this type of bridge design in 1911 (see image above). Two notable aspects of the bridge’s history from the register application include:

“It was not until the introduction of the “rainbow arch” by Marsh, that Kansas made widespread use of reinforced concrete spans for major stream crossings. Marsh canvassed the midwest, selling his arches in direct competition with the steel trusses at that time.”

“The Verdigris River bridge east of Independence, Kansas retains its integrity of
location, design, setting, materials, feeling, and association. It is associated with the life of James B. Marsh, pioneer in steel and concrete bridge construction. It embodies the distinctive characteristics of a type and method of construction that is no longer used, and, as such, may yield information important to the history of engineering.”

But there is more to this handsome river span than first meets the eye. Set near ground level on either end of the concrete bridge walls are four old plaques. Two list the usual details like the year built and platitudes for those who oversaw its design and construction.

On another plaque (see above) was a solemn dedication. The bridge we had just stumbled upon by chance is dedicated to the memory of O. “Otis” Glenn Dewlen, a nearly 22 year-old man who was killed during the Argonne Forest Campaign in France on September 26, 1918. His death occurred barely eight weeks before the signing of the November 11th Armistice, which brought an end to World War I. 

Below is an image of the newspaper account of his death as written by his Sergeant in a letter to his mother…

Apparently, we missed the second memorial plaque dedicated to another local young man (Harry F. Spohnhauer) who died on November 2, 1918, a mere nine days before the Armistice. As a result the honorary, non-technical name for the bridge is the Dewlen-Spohnhauer Memorial Bridge. Unfortunately, readily available information on PFC Spohnhauer was not found online, other than he appears to have lived just outside of Independence near the community of Cherryvale.

Such an occurrence is not unusual. It seems no matter how many times we traverse the heartland of the United States on our way to and fro, there is always something new to see, observe, attend, or happen upon. Sometimes it’s a scenic vista, while other times it’s a lonely bridge in Kansas that commemorates two brave young men. 

Mostly, it’s the unexpected and unplanned surprises that are vividly etched into the lasting memories of our psyche. Montgomery County Bridge #628 is just such a place. We will forever be grateful for the opportunity afforded us to visit this remarkable old bridge and honor these two stalwart young men who sacrificed their lives for the greater good.

“Something for all of us to ponder as we rapidly approach the nation’s 250th birthday during a time of ongoing threats to our cherished civil liberties — these two young privates from a small Kansas community, so aptly named Independence, gave their lives to protect those same freedoms that most Americans plan to celebrate during the upcoming week. We all owe them a debt of gratitude.”

Peace!

Postscript:

Given the historical, engineering, and commemorative importance of Montgomery County Bridge #628, it seems that routine maintenance should be an ongoing priority. As some of the photos taken last week clearly show, the bridge appears to need prompt service and care to assure it retains its integrity and survives yet another century to honor its unique engineering design and especially in remembrance of two young men from Independence, Kansas.
