The engineering firm will work in partnership with the Parsons, JF White-Skanska team that was appointed by the client last month (link opens in new tab).

The project involves the complete replacement of the existing temporary vertical lift bridge with a new permanent vertical lift bridge. The new bridge will be built on the same alignment as an adjacent 1936 bascule bridge, which was demolished in 2004. Modjeski & Masters will work on the electrical and mechanical design for the new truss-style lift span.
