This project plans to build two new parallel cast-in-place segmental bridges to replace the current steel deck truss bridge that was built in 1953.
Fay is in the design phase of a progressive design-build project that will increase the clearance of the Howard Street Tunnel from 19 to 21 feet to permit the safe passage of double-stack trains.
For this project, Fay will replace the current open spandrel concrete arch bridge with an arched delta frame structure using sliding accelerated bridge techniques (ABC).
This project consists of work associated with Monongahela River Locks and Dam no. 3 (also called Elizabeth Locks and Dams) demolition, establishment of the new navigable channel and stabilization of the monoliths to remain after construction.
The scope of work for this project includes the demolition of ten remnant piers located on the southeast side of the existing Susquehanna River Bridge. The piers are solid shaft piers that are approximately 20 ft above the waterline and are approximately 24 ft long by 8 ft wide.
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.
The Ft. Eustis Bridge, the entrance to Joint Base Langley-Eustis, was widened during its reconstruction to provide better access.
Fay was contracted for the removal and replacement of existing lift gates 9 and 10 at the Montgomery Lock and Dam. When complete, the work at Montgomery will address reliability concerns by replacing the aging and deteriorated auxiliary chamber with a new primary chamber.
This design-build project replaced the structurally deficient Darden Memorial Bridge on Meherrin Road (Route 35).
Fay recently upgraded Berth 3 of Seagirt Marine Terminal to meet the requirements of post Panamax ships that call on the port and accommodate bigger ships.
