Urban freeway bridge reconstruction planning: Case
Abstract:
Urban freeway bridge reconstruction is a challenging process. Sites are often located in heavily populated areas and are always congested with traffic and construction activities. Lack of adequate planning on such projects can result in tremendous waste in project cost and schedule, traffic flow efficiency, and most importantly, safety to both the traveling public and construction crews. Accordingly, a need exists to develop techniques to help plan and construct urban bridge projects more effectively. This gaper documents the process of replanning a bridge project, Mockingbird Bridge. The case describes a research effort that beneficially applied several construction engineering concepts to the project. For the project, the research resulted in sizable savings in cost and duration. For the industry, the case resulted in several lessons for future projects. Among these, the primary lesson is that the integration of bridge reconstruction sequence, constructability, and traffic control plans is crucial to project success.
