The U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, St. Paul District (USACE) is planning a construction project in the City of Montevideo, Chippewa County, along the Twin Cities and Western Railroad (Railroad) in the State of Minnesota. The project requires railroad closure work, in an area of low head room under a MnDOT bridge, which consists of construction of an emergency flood barrier across the Railroad alignment. It is anticipated that a reinforced concrete closure measuring approximately 29 feet wide will be required. The scope of this work will include, but is not limited to, excavation, installation of a cast-in-place reinforced concrete base, installation of steel sheet pile flood barrier I-wall (approximately 80 total feet of 25' long sheet pile) that will tie into the MnDOT embankments, construction of reinforced concrete stop log slots and sill, backfill of the structure, and procurement and fit testing of stop logs. Ancillary construction items included in this project include construction of earthen berms on the MnDOT embankment and stripping of drainage ditches. Temporary shoring may be needed to meet railroad live loading and MnDOT standards. Tight project schedule communication and coordination with MnDOT and the Railroad while the track is closed is critical. The maximum duration of track closure is expected to be 48 hours.
