Normal construction
duration 14-16 weeks
ABC construction
duration 14 days
Project
Innovations
 Precast modular bridge system
(including precast approach pavement)
 Superstructure units create a semiintegral abutment for rapid construction
 Durable, moment-resisting UHPC joint
between deck panels
 First bridge in US with full, momentresisting UHPC joint at the piers
UHPC
UHPC Constituents:
• Portland cement
• silica fume
• fine, uniformly graded sand
• crushed quartz
• steel fibers
• water
• superplasticizers

Precast Abutment Construction
 Single piece barrel section
 SCC to fill pile pockets
 Temporary support of backwall
until SCC reaches 3500 psi
