A custom sixteen-point Synchronous Jacking System was employed to raise and remove the existing bridges spanning I-678. Once lifted and placed on rollers, the bridges were shifted aside for demolition and removal. Subsequently, the new bridge was seamlessly rolled into position and lowered using the same jacking system.
This process was successfully executed for both the Jamaica Avenue Bridge and Hillside Avenue Bridge on I-678, constituting a significant accomplishment. The project scope included the removal of entire superstructures measuring 110 feet in length, relocating abutments, replacing the center pier stem, and installing a new two-span continuous bridge, 28 feet longer than the previous one.
Additionally, improvements on the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678) involved widening segments with acceleration/deceleration lanes, enhancing safety with full-width flush shoulders, resurfacing six lanes over half a mile, and upgrading drainage, lighting, ITS, signing, and landscaping elements.
The New York State Department of Transportation Region 11 executed the reconstruction of the Jamaica Avenue Bridge over I-678 Van Wyck Expressway utilizing the Roll-in/Roll Out Method. The project scope included removing the entire 110-foot-long superstructure, relocating abutments, and replacing the center pier stem.
Additionally, a new two-span continuous bridge, 28 feet longer than the previous one, was installed. Along the Van Wyck Expressway (I-678), enhancements comprised widening segments with acceleration/deceleration lanes, implementing full-width flush shoulders to improve safety, resurfacing all six lanes over a half-mile stretch, and upgrading drainage, lighting, ITS, signing, and landscaping features.
