Bridges

Get an update on the Virgin River Bridge No. 6 rehabilitation project.

Progress is being made on the US 89 Cameron roadway improvement project.

Get an update on the SR 260 bridge rehabilitation project, located about 17 miles east of Payson.

ADOT started a project to expand US 89 from two lanes to four lanes through the community of Cameron. The project also includes the removal and replacement of the existing US 89 Cameron Truss Bridge.

You may have heard the terms “structurally deficient” or “functionally obsolete” in reference to bridges …

After 56 years, it’s time for the old Gila River Bridge to retire … Located on US 70 about a mile west of the Bylas community on the San Carlos Apache reservation, the bridge, which was built in 1957, is now being demolished ...

We posted a clip on YouTube last week that shows crews demolishing the old Pantano Union Pacific Railroad Bridge. Because it’s a time-lapse video, you can watch all the work being completed in under a minute…

As you can see in the video above, work to replace the San Pedro River Bridge is in full swing…

Public involvement truly helps shape ADOT projects … just ask residents living near the San Pedro River Bridge

ADOT installed the 160-ton, 600-foot long bridge over two nights in June next to the Central Arizona Project (CAP) canal.

This might sound cliché, but ADOT really is getting rid of the old to make room for the new… It’s happening right now on the San Carlos Apache reservation as ADOT crews construct a new bridge to replace the US 70 Gila River Bridge at Bylas.

The bridge crossing the Gila River outside Florence has quite a few distinctions in its history.

When you’re building bridges, there’s more than one way to get the job done... We told you a few months ago about a method that utilizes false work and sand jacks. Today, we’re going to fill you in on a different approach … the key terms to remember are soffit fills and waste slabs.

Last week we were asked on Facebook to provide an update on the Loop 303 project – specifically the bridge construction at Waddell Road. We’re happy to oblige! We also are glad to report that the bridge construction is progressing as planned.

When we blogged about quiet pavement back in December, we got a lot of comments… We received plenty of questions, too, which we’ll attempt to answer here on the blog in the coming weeks – starting with one on bridge expansion joints.

Last week we received a blog comment requesting an update on the I-17 bridges that span over Pinewood Boulevard in Munds Park. We thought it was a great suggestion and figured a blog post was in order!

The new year officially is here, but before we dive into 2012 we’re going to take a quick look back. ADOT’s Public Information/Media Relations team came up with a great list of the state’s major transportation accomplishments from 2011 and we thought we’d share it here on the blog!

Last month, as part of our Building a Freeway series, we told you about the massive underground support substructures that help give bridges strength. Next up in the series is an important -- but temporary -- structure that’s used as crews build a bridge, tunnel or even a box culvert.

It’s been just about six months, but today the residents of Mescal and J-Six Ranch got their bridge back and can finally say goodbye to one lengthy detour!
