Albion Bridge Demolition and Re-Construction

Getting Started With Something New and also Different

Picture
After years of heavy wear and tear, the Albion Bridge which was built in the late 50’s fell into a state of disrepair, and the only answer was the demolition of the old structure, followed by the rebuilding of a totally new modern structure.
The project required the construction of a by-pass road in order for traffic to flow uninterrupted, which essentially necessitated the building of a temporary bridge across the gut.  To do this, a substantial number of Concrete Culverts (large diameter pipes) were placed together in series to form conduits for the free flow of water in the event the gut became active due to heavy rains. The project provided opportunities for a variety of trades, and acted as a stimulus to the District’s economy.  Included among the various trades involved, were:
1)      Demolition: Removal of the existing Bridge Deck; Side walls and footings; and Base slab
2)      Civil works:   
                  a.       Construction of the By-pass road
                  b.      Excavation for new Footings and Base slab
                 
c.       Associated Road works excavation
3)      Transportation:
                  a.       By-pass road Culvert trucking, and road bed construction material trucking
                 
b.      Trucking water to keep dirt on By-pass road under control
                 
c.       Trucking material to construct Bridge; Roadway; and Sidewalks
4)      Construction:
                 
a.       Concrete Contractors, several were used on the project to build the Base Slab, Footings, Walls, and Bridge Deck. 
                          
And also the Sidewalks, road beds at the east and west of the new Bridge; along with the Swale Drains.
                 
b.      Structural Steel fabricators for the Guardrails
