Scope of Work
- Two-level bridge consisting of 24 spans with 64’ span lengths
- Bridge superstructure with reinforced concrete deck on 36” FIB Girders
- Bridge substructure with 50 CIP inverted Tee pier caps, supported CIP concrete columns bearing on 50 footings, which were supported by 24” square concrete piling.
- Other scope items included pedestrian bridge, bridge sidewalk, bridge traffic railing, and bollards
Unique Challenges
- Access to the bridge only from the east of the structure.
- Pile driving performed on a seven day per week work schedule
- Compressed schedule. Required two piles and 12 carpentry crews to use 1 x 300-ton crane, 3 x 250-ton cranes, 1 x 150-ton crate and 1 x 60-ton crane.
- Coordinate access to work zone and coordinate laydown areas with Construction Managing contractor and multiple trade partners
