The existing 8-span structure has been replaced with a 2 span, curved, steel girder bridge. The $18 million project was designed and developed by VTrans staff, with assistance by our partners at VHB. Construction began in 2023 and is anticipated to be completed by the end of June 2025. The presentation will cover the full development of the project, including the advanced materials and techniques used for efficient design and construction. Topics will include the use of finite element analysis for the design of the superstructure and 3D modeling of the reinforcing steel for select components.
