Fredrick Douglass Memorial Bridge Demolition

As a subcontractor, Fay performed the demolition of the 1306 ft long Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and approaches. Much of the work was performed via a 150-ton barge-based crane and a specialty barge crane. The bridge was removed by sawing and lifting the deck in segments and burning and lifting the steel. A portion of the deck and steel on the approaches was removed by way of the controlled drop method. This project also includes the removal of 7 piers in Anacostia River, 2 piers on land, and several pedestals on the approaches.
