Client

Performed bridge and roadway approach design for the replacement of the Belt Parkway Bridge over Ocean Parkway in Brooklyn , New York . The bridge carries a very high volume of traffic on the Belt, and it spans over Ocean Parkway in the heart of Brooklyn . The existing two span bridge was replaced with a longer and wider three span bridge. The bridge was made continuous with semi integral abutments to eliminate deck joints. The backwalls, were attached to the deck and were allowed to overhang the abutments to provide seismic resistance by generating passive pressure of the embankment. Extensive MPT coordination and staging of the structure was involved to accommodate traffic during construction. |
