Scope Of Work
Skanska and PB used a highly innovative approach to replace the George P. Coleman Bridge. This $73M project is the longest double-leaf swing span in the U.S. Six bridge spans were prefabricated 30 miles away and transported by barge to the project. This approach enabled the bridge to be reconstructed along the existing alignment with only nine days of closure, significantly reducing the number of closures anticipated by the owner.
