Abstract:

The Alexander Hamilton Bridge (AHB) Project is the largest single construction contract award by New York State Department of Transportation (NYSDOT) to-date at a cost of $407 million. Construction began in 2009 and will be completed in 2013. The project includes a new reinforced-concrete widened deck and modifications to the approach superstructure and adjacent ramps while maintaining eight lanes of traffic on a highly congested section of interstate highway in the midst of New York City. The temporary structures accounted for a key portion of the total overall project cost and posed the greatest challenges. Key innovations were the use of stainless steel rebar, elimination of approach structure deck joints, and the use of innovative temporary support structures and rail gantry installation system, thereby saving overall cost to the contractor and the owner.
