Bridge Superstructure Lowering Operation—U.S. 60 Widening, Mesa, Arizona
Publication: Practice Periodical on Structural Design and Construction
Volume 9, Issue 2
Abstract
On the Arizona Department of Transportation U.S. 60 Superstition Freeway project it was necessary to construct a new mainline bridge-widening superstructure at an elevation above its final position. This was done so that the required concrete formwork would not cause a decrease in clearance on the road passing under the existing bridge. The focus of this paper is the planning and execution of jacking the constructed bridge sections into their final positions. An unusual inverted jack system was used to accomplish this lowering operation.
