Hurdman's Bridge Demolition WOW - Priestly Demolition

A massive infrastructure project is underway in the Nations capital, and the Hurdman's Bridge (spanning the Rideau River) poses some unique environmental and logistical challenges for the team. This demolition will be tackled in two phases, allowing this important artery to remain open during construction and demolition.
See how PDI is able to tackle this complex project in the winter, on a tight timeline, while protecting both the highly sensitive waterway and fibre optics cables that bring both phone and internet to the citizens of Ottawa.

    Traveling by road in Canada I was impressed that roads remain open to traffic during even heavy reconstruction. Here in the US state of Washington, the DOT routinely closes main routes completely with little regard for the ill effects.

    i LOVE when they do rapid replacement bridges. It is so cool and makes way more sense than typical bridge building... well actually bridge replacing.. Building another bridge right next to the old one and then moving it in place and quickly demo'ing the old bridge should be done on damn near every interstate bridge ever. The raising of the Bayonne bridge is a smiliar instance, except they just needed to raise the road deck... but had to completely replace the ramps onto the bridge while not stopping traffic. Look up BAYONNE Bridge raising deck if you like this video !

    When it comes to the fiber, the repair is the cheap part. But what it's used for if it does go down will cost $100,000's an hour and that's excluding normal banking. If it's trading, then the price will be a factor only the companies know.

    ​@@kikoeta I think it's pretty clear any time you paint on something that isn't yours it's vandalism. No one sees "RACKA" in a 20' tall barely legible font and says "This must be preserved so future generations can not give a shit about RACKA". If your graffiti "art" is so special then put it on canvas. But we all know it's not worth canvas, and the artists save money buy using our public and private property as their canvas.. Then some douchebag comes along and tries to tell us it's a gift we should accept. What ever.
