Demolition work included the removal of the existing bridge superstructure over the Woonasquatucket River using tandem crane picks during an overnight closure. The bridge construction scope of work included substructure concrete rehabilitation, new steel plate girders, a reinforced concrete bridge deck, cast-in-place concrete end posts, approach slabs, highway paving, line striping, landscaping, and maintenance and protection of traffic. As traffic on US Route 6 was required to be maintained with two travel lanes in each direction, all construction was carried out over two stages to complete the work.

Manafort served as the Design Build Prime Contractor for the project and self-performed a majority of the work including demolition, excavation, concrete substructure rehabilitation, superstructure concrete, drainage, and roadway construction. Manafort’s extensive design build experience aided in this project being delivered safely, successfully, ahead of schedule. and on-budget.
