Among the few accelerated bridge construction projects in Connecticut, the team says this $5-million project was completed under budget and ahead of schedule with minimal traffic disruption.

Dubbed “A Bridge to Nature” by the Vermont Agency of Transportation, this project delivered not only a critical piece of infrastructure, but also a gateway into the state.

The project team says technology played a central role in the $68.3-million plan to construct five dual bridges within an 11-mile section of the planned 1,500-mile Continental 1 international trade corridor, connecting Canada with Florida.

Converting the functionally obsolete cloverleaf interchange connecting I-70 and U.S. Route 19 into Pennsylvania’s first diverging diamond interchange required a traffic control plan to minimize disruptions to the tens of thousands of motorists who travel through the area daily.

The project called for a major traffic change, replacing a congested signal-controlled intersection in a primary commercial corridor with a three-lane roundabout.

Replacing the concrete open spandrel arch bridge that had served as Pittsburgh’s eastern gateway for nearly a century was more challenging than the original construction.
