A joint venture of Skanska Koch and Kiewit Infrastructure has won a a US$743.3 million contract to raise the deck of the Bayonne Bridge.
The contract for the Port Authority of New York & New Jersey is part of a US$1.29 billion programme to increase the bridge’s navigational clearance. The project will raise the deck by 19.5m and provide drivers with a road with safer 3.65m lanes, shoulders, a median divider and a 3.65m cycle and pedestrian path. It also will provide the capability for future mass transit options across the span.
Engineers will construct the new deck above the existing road, while traffic continues to flow on the deck below.
The same meeting of the authority’s commissioners authorised a US$1.5 billion public-private partnership to NYNJ Link Partnership to build a new Goethals Bridge and a US$15.3 million contract to Crisdel Group to resurface the Outerbridge Crossing.
For more than 31 years, Bridge Design & Engineering has been a trusted source of new insights, knowledge, and connections for the global bridge community. With the rapid shifts in the publishing landscape and increasing costs, sustaining the printed magazine at the high level of quality our readers expect has become increasingly challenging. After careful consideration, Hemming Group Ltd has made the difficult decision to discontinue the print publication.
You will continue to have full access to the Bridge Design and Engineering website - including the complete archive. Although the site will no longer be updated, the archive remains a rich resource of engineering knowledge and project insight. You can also continue to access the Bridge Directory, IBIG, through the website or directly at: https://www.bdeibig.com/
While this marks the end of an era, it also opens a new chapter, one focused on strengthening the connections, collaboration, and technical excellence that our community thrives on. Our energy and investment will now be directed toward expanding and enhancing our industry leading events that bring the bridge community together.
Our flagship events Bridges and Bridges Scotland will continue to thrive as essential annual gatherings for bridge owners, managers, designers, engineers, and suppliers. These events play a vital role in sharing innovation, showcasing best practice and emerging technologies, and fostering meaningful collaboration across the industry. We are excited to build on their success and will further develop these events in the years ahead.
