SUMMARY

The project consists of replacing the existing pin and hanger assemblies with new stainless-steel assemblies to extend the service life of the bridge. The work includes jacking the bridge girders, removing the existing pin and hanger assemblies, line boring the connection holes, installing the new stainless-steel assemblies, abrasive blast cleaning and painting the beam ends, and applying the final topcoat within the designated painting limits. The project also includes structural steel repairs at both bridge locations.

Key Challenges

A significant challenge on the project involved managing extended lead times for critical stainless-steel components and addressing unforeseen site conditions. ROTHA worked closely with the project team to navigate these challenges, implement the necessary change orders, and keep the project moving forward.
