Rhode Island man vacationing in Milwaukee dies in fall from drawbridge

MILWAUKEE, Wis. — A Rhode Island man vacationing in Wisconsin has died after he fell more than 70 feet while attempting to walk across a rising drawbridge in Milwaukee.

According to a Milwaukee County Medical Examiner's Office report, 77-year-old Richard Dujardin of Providence, Rhode Island, was walking across the Kilbourn Avenue Bridge with his wife Monday afternoon when it began to rise, NBC affiliate TMJ4 reported.

The report said his wife, Rose-Marie Dujardin, made it across the bridge. However, Richard Dujardin, who was looking at an iPad while walking, was still in the middle when it began rising, the Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reported.

"The lights, bells, and arms came down at each end of the bridge," the report said according to the news outlets. "However, Richard was hard of hearing, and it is thought that he didn't notice them."

The report states that the 77-year-old tried to catch up to his wife, but couldn't, so he grabbed onto the side railing but lost his grip and fell 71 feet to the pavement below, the news outlets reported.

According to the report, the news outlets reported that Richard Dujardin suffered head trauma and died from his injuries at the scene.

The bridge is controlled by the city's Department of Public Works, the Associated Press reported.

In a statement to the news outlets, Interim Commissioner of Public Works Jerrel Kruschke said the operator was "fully trained," and is in his fourth year as a bridge operator and had opened bridges hundreds of times.

Kruschke added that the bridge operator was on leave and that he "was connected with the City’s Employee Assistance Program for counseling," the newspaper reported.

Milwaukee Police said in a statement that there is no suspicion of a criminal act, but the investigation was ongoing, the Associated Press reported.

Rose-Marie Dujardin told TMJ4 that her husband of 54 years was a reporter at the Providence Journal.

Florida bicyclist falls to her death from rising drawbridge

WEST PALM BEACH, Fla. — An investigation is underway in West Palm Beach, Florida after a bicyclist fell to her death while on an opening draw bridge that connects the city to Palm Beach.

West Palm Beach police said Sunday that an older woman, whose name has not been released, was walking her bike across the Royal Park Bridge when it started going up.

She was just 10 feet away from the end of the bridge when she fell to her death through a gap in the road, authorities said.

The bridge from Lakeview Avenue and Okeechobee Boulevard onto Palm Beach island is closed until further notice while police investigate the death of a bicyclist on the bridge.

"The woman tried to hang on. There was a bystander nearby who tried to help her, but tragically she fell five or six stories below where she died landing on concrete," said West Palm Beach police spokesman Mike Jachles.

"There is a bridge tender, and that bridge tender has certain safety protocols to follow, specific safety protocols...that includes lowering of the gates for the vehicles, lowering of the gates for the pedestrians, and making several visual confirmations that there is nobody at either of the spans or past those gates."

The Royal Park Bridge was closed for nearly six hours and is equipped with barriers and bells alerting people when the bridge is going up.

The bridge from Lakeview Avenue and Okeechobee Boulevard onto Palm Beach island is closed until further notice while police investigate the death of a bicyclist on the bridge.

While police look into what went wrong, bicycle safety advocates like Juan Orellana said the Royal Park Bridge is highly trafficked.

"Palm Beach is accessible only through three bridges and this is the main bridge, so it's very used by cyclists," Orellana said. "For one thing you will hear the bell before the arms go down, so when you hear the bell you gotta get out of the way before the bridge goes up," Orellana said.

"Always drive defensively, always be aware of your surroundings, see what's going on, because it's our life that we're playing with sometimes," he said.

Palm Beach police will study surveillance video as their investigation continues and local safety advocates are urging residents and tourists to be alert and aware when on roadways and bridges.

Couple injured in Pittsburgh bridge collapse both have fractured vertebrae

cincylink — Mon, 31 Jan 2022 21:07:16 +0000

Erin Perry says her parents were on their way to take care of her 93-year-old grandmother when the Forbes Avenue bridge over Fern Hollow Creek in Pittsburgh’s Frick Park collapsed Friday morning.Tyrone and Velva Perry, both 69, were released from Presbyterian Hospital Saturday night. Erin told sister station WTAE both fractured their vertebrae in the collapse."My father actually said every time he closes his eyes, he sees the bridge buckling, so he has experienced trauma. They both experienced trauma," Erin Perry said.Erin says her father was driving the red pickup truck seen at the bottom of the ravine. "As they were driving down the bridge, my father described seeing the bridge in front of him buckle, and then he noticed through the rearview mirror that behind them the bridge was buckling, and then they fell…the bridge was collapsing. He knew the bridge was collapsing. He thought he was going to die," Erin Perry said.Erin says her mother, Velva, was in the passenger’s seat."My mother had been on her phone, and so she thought they had got hit by a car, and then was confused as to why they were still moving until it hit the ground… The other thing that happened is that there were cars coming from the other direction, one that flipped over towards them, and then the second came tumbling towards them and landed right beside the vehicle on its side," Erin Perry said.Erin says her parents were told to get out of the car immediately because there was a gas leak and they had to evacuate the area. "The sound of the gas, the way it was described, sounded like Niagara Falls," Erin Perry said.Erin says first responders and accident victims helped her parents get to safety and eventually they were taken in an ambulance to the hospital."There was a shell of protection around them, and so they feel just blessed and fortunate to still be here, and then there's this tremendous outpouring of support and prayers and love that is coming from all over the country," Erin Perry said.Erin has set up a GoFundMe page to help with expenses for her family as they begin their road to recovery.

Group wants to turn old interstate bridge into wildlife crossing, pedestrian walkway

cincylink — Sun, 18 Jul 2021 04:19:24 +0000

A bridge that spans across the Mississippi River from Iowa to Illinois is getting old. Instead of tearing it down, Chad Pregracke has another idea.

“It’s one thing to talk about something, it’s another to be doing it and actively doing it with a bigger purpose in mind. And that’s kind of what we’ve been working towards,” Pregracke said as he drove across the I-80 bridge.

It’s just another bridge for many drivers, but for Pregracke, it symbolizes much more.

“I grew up right by the bridge,” he said. “And I spent a lot of time as a kid fishing and swimming around the bridge.”

Pregracke and the team behind the Bison Bridge Foundation want to turn the bridge into just that, a bridge for bison, pedestrians, and cyclists.

“I came up with the idea of Bison Bridge but it didn't happen overnight. It actually happened over the last 20 years,” he said.

“When you hear about it at first, you think it's a pretty wild project. And some would say it’s crazy and that's fine. But that’s what it needs to be,” he explained.

Pregracke had plans drawn up to show the public exactly what a final product could look like.

“It’s not just about bison. It’s also equally, if not more, about the Mississippi River and celebrating that,” he said.

He put the project in motion two years ago, but it still has quite a ways to go.

“Repurposing of infrastructure is something new, it’s unique. It’s challenging and it’s different from what you typically see of an infrastructure project,” said Kevin Marchek, a former Illinois Department of Transportation engineer.

He recently retired after almost four decades there.

“The bridge has been around for approximately 55 years. It was part of the interstate system during the Eisenhower days,” Marchek said.

According to Marchek, the bridge is jointly owned by both states, Iowa and Illinois, and the federal government. The departments are looking at creating a new bridge in its place. Where that bridge will be exactly is still unknown.

“It’s undersized for the amount of traffic that's on it, so that combined with the age,” he said.

“You're looking at about 42,000 cars traveling across Interstate 80 a day,” Pregracke said.

But this aging bridge still has some life.

“That’s really the main thing here is that we’re reusing and repurposing a structure and hopefully saving the department of transportation’s money,” Marchek said.

“I’m not building a bridge, I'm just trying to keep it and doing something positive with something that we’re gonna pay about $20 million to blow up,” Pregracke explained.

The idea of wildlife crossings has become more and more common.

“The more developed our natural habitats become, which is just the natural process of humans living in landscapes, the more fragmented they become,” said Paul Drummond, a licensed landscape architect and member of the American Society of Landscape Architects.

Drummond said bridges can help stitch together these fragmented areas for animals.

“Wildlife crossings benefit everybody. They benefit people, but they also benefit the wildlife,” he said.

Pregracke’s idea has started to gain momentum, with over 30,000 signatures on a petition, bison signs on the side of local streets, and even a statue that makes appearances at local events.

The only major concern he addresses is about money.

“Most people are worried about their taxpayers' money,” Pregracke said. “We’re looking to do this privately.”

The final product is still years out and there are many decisions that have to be made along the way, as government agencies have to decide where the new bridge will go, and what will become of this one.

“We totally respect the process and try to work with the process,” Pregracke said.

“You're looking at about seven years down the line before we’d see a new bridge in place,” Marchek said.
