Default ABC: Accelerated Bridge Construction

" Connecticut DOT I-84 Bridge Replacement in Southington "

" The $6 million project to replace the I-84 bridge over Marion Avenue in Southington, which was scheduled for completion in July 2014, was finished ahead of schedule over the weekend of June 28-29 using an engineering and construction process known as ABC -- Accelerated Bridge Construction -- in which the new bridges are built adjacent to the old ones and are then lifted into place when ready."

" Only one weekend closure of I-84 was required for the replacement and installation of the two new 102-foot-long bridges weighing 2 million pounds each "

Shutdown was from Friday @ 5:00 PM until Sunday @ 9:00 PM
