Abstract:

Rehabilitating a heavily traveled crossing while traffic continues to flow is a complicated endeavor. Add the attention to detail required to preserve the character of a historic 1920's bridge, and the challenge multiply. Rehabilitating the Ford Parkway bridge�which connects the Twin Cities and is one of the largest reinforced-concrete arch bridge� required engineers to design cantilever brackets, columns, floor beams, and spandrel arches that would preserve the bridge's character.
