The intent of the US 2 project is to reduce a bridge to its most basic components and to incorporate high quality, durable materials in construction. This design approach will maximize the life of the bridge and provide a structure that is virtually maintenance free. By eliminating the membrane and pavement and by moving traffic (8400 ADT) on a two-way temporary bridge during construction, VTrans will be able to build the new bridge in a shorter time frame than through a traditional approach and reduce disruptions and impacts to the traveling public.
This Showcase featured presentations from VTrans, the Contractors for the project, and subject matter experts in accelerated bridge construction. A visit to the project site to view the construction will also took place as a part of this event.
