Jefferson Barracks Bridge-I-255
St. Louis, Missouri

This project was to replace existing power systems and lighting fixtures which had been deteriorated by weather and salt. Unique aspects of this project included the use of NEMA 4X housings for the power distribution and lighting switching and the use of PVC coated aluminum conduits in exposed areas. These materials were required to withstand the environment created by the river and the use of salt. New lighting fixtures were designed along inside of the bridge archway so that a person working inside the archway could turn on a course of lights ahead of him and turn off lights behind has he went along. Compact fluorescent lamps were also employed for long life and low energy consumption and river navigation lighting fixtures were constructed in NEMA 4X fixtures. The aircraft hazard aviation lighting design conformed to FCC and FAA requirements for continuous service under all weather conditions.
