Scope Of Work
Crowder constructed a mile long recreational nature trail and two pedestrian bridges - including: channel improvements, snag and debris removal, training walls, slope protection, and utility, road and building relocations and landscaping to reduce flood hazards, damages, and associated negative social and economic impacts. Crowder Installed Two, steel-truss pedestrian bridges over the Roanoke River. One structure was a two-span bridge over 250 feet long and the other a single span bridge over 217 feet long. The trail consisted of over a mile of paved walking surface with landscaping including wooden and wrought iron fencing. To prevent water from backing up behind the trail embankment as well as to improve drainage, 24 inch concrete pipe and 5 foot diameter manholes, with associated headwalls, and slope ditches were installed leading water back into the Roanoke River.
This project helped provide beautification to a somewhat depressed area in the old industrial area of Roanoke.
