US 36 Truss Bridge Rehabilitation (Schedule-Critical Deadline Met with Teamwork and Innovation)

The US 36 over the Wabash River truss bridge, which spans more than 1,200 feet, underwent a deck replacement in 2017. The existing historical structure had a deteriorated bridge deck and a substandard load rating. During construction, coordination between all parties allowed for load rating improvement by taking advantage of composite action. This time-saving measure allowed for meeting a schedule-critical completion date in order to reopen for the Parke County Covered Bridge Festival. Join us for a discussion
