Rehabilitation of the St. George Staten Island Ferry Terminal Ramps
Award of Merit: Airports/Transit
Built in 1946 and exposed to a saltwater environment, the ramps of the St. George Ferry Terminal, a multimodal transport hub in Staten Island, N.Y., required extensive repair and reconstruction. The city's $175-million, design-build project called for re-decking and rehabilitating eight elevated concrete bus ramps, some of which are located over active rail lines; strengthening the existing structures; and removing asbestos and lead-based paint.
