I-Oklahoma City yenze izinguquko eziningi kakhulu eminyakeni yamuva, kusukela ku- MAPS 3 kuya ekwakhiweni kwe- Devon Energy Centre naseCore to Shore ukulungiswa ngase- Oklahoma River .
Ngokubambisana nokuthunyelwa eseningizimu kwesabelo se-I-40 esiseduze nedolobha, idolobha lakwakha i-Skydance Pedestrian Bridge, okungeziwe okubukeka ngokumangalisayo okuvumela ukuhamba ngezinyawo ukuhamba ngokukhululekile kule ndawo egcwele kakhulu emgwaqeni omkhulu ongaphakathi.
Ama-hues amahle, ajikelezayo e-Skydance Bridge avula amehlo, ngisho nalabo abashayela ngaphansi kwekhulu. Ngamaholide, idolobha lisebenzisa ukukhanyisa ukumela umoya oyingqayizivele wosuku noma inkathi, futhi izikhulu nazo zenze inqubomgomo yokukhanyisa izicelo zomuntu ngamunye kanye neqembu.
Qonda kuqala ukuthi ukukhanyisa okhethekile kwe-Skydance akuyona ngezinhloso zokuhweba noma ukuqashelwa ngabanye njengokuzalwa noma umshado. Esikhundleni salokho, kufanele "ikhuthaze izintshisekelo zebhizinisi nenhlalakahle yeDolobha lase-Oklahoma City" ikakhulukazi ngokuqaphela imbangela ethile noma ukukhumbula umcimbi othile. Isicelo sokukhanyisa ibhuloho siyatholakala ku-intanethi, futhi ifomu kufanele litholwe nguMnyango Wezemisebenzi Yomphakathi okungenani izinsuku ezingu-30 ngaphambi kosuku oluceliwe.
Inhloso Nokwakhiwa
Ngenkathi ingxenye yedolobha yedolobha lase-Interstate 40 isuswa endaweni eningizimu yendawo yayo, izikhulu zase-Oklahoma City zazifuna ukuxhumana kwabantu abahamba ngezinyawo phakathi kwedolobha kanye nokukhula kwe-Oklahoma River.
Ukwakhiwa kwe-Skydance Pedestrian Bridge kwaqala ngo-Agasti 2011, njengoba nje ukwakhiwa kwe-I-40 kwangena izigaba zokugcina. Izindleko zokwakha ezilinganiselwa ku-$ 6.6 million zanikezwa ngemali yedolobha kanye nesezimali, cishe amaRandi ayizigidi ezingu-3,5 ezivela ezixhasweni zikahulumeni wase-Oklahoma State uMnyango wezokuThutha nakwezinye izindawo ezisuka emzini wase-Oklahoma City.
Ngaphandle kwezici zayo ezibonakalayo ezibonakalayo, ibhuloho-ebizwa ngokuthi i-Skydance-isivele ibe umbono omkhulu wesimanje futhi onobuciko obashayeli be-I-40 nabahamba ngezinyawo ngokufanayo. Abavakashi abavela ngaphesheya kwezwe kanye nezwe manje baya e-Oklahoma City ukuze bathathe izithombe ezivela phezulu kwalesi sakhiwo esihle kakhulu, futhi kubonakala ezincwadini eziningi zokuvakasha kanye neziqondiso njengendawo enkulu yendawo.
Yakha futhi ubuke
Ngemuva komncintiswano wokuklama ohlanganisa amafemu angu-16, i-Oklahoma City yakhetha ukuhanjiswa yi-Architect MKEC Engineering ne-Butzer Design Partnership eholwa nguHans Butzer. U-Butzer uyaziwa ngokuthi umklami we- Oklahoma City National Memorial .
I-Skydance Pedestrian Bridge design kuthiwa iphefumulelwe "ngodonga esibhakabhakeni" ye-flycatcher yase-scissor-tailed, inyoni yase-Oklahoma. Isakhiwo sezintambo ezingu-18 singamamitha angu-30 ububanzi futhi sihamba ngamamitha angu-440 ngaphesheya kwesigaba esicindezelekile esicindezelekile esendaweni engu-10-I-40 engeningizimu yedolobha. Amaphiko aphakama ngaphezu kwebhuloho, efinyelela ezinyaweni ezingamamitha angu-185 emoyeni, futhi ukuthuka kwensimbi enemihlobiso ephakeme ngamasentimitha angu-66 kunciphisa ubude bhuloho.
Ibhuloho lenziwe ngamapaneli ensimbi angenasici angenawo elangeni, futhi ukukhanyisa ebusuku kuveza ukukhanya kwezulu. Amaphiko, okwenziwa ngezinto eziguquguqukayo, abonakala sengathi aphuma ngaphakathi, enza ukuboniswa okubukeka kahle okuhambisana nokusebenza kokuvumela abahambi ukuba bahambe ukusuka edolobheni kuya endaweni entsha esanda kulungiswa e-Oklahoma River.
