The H-bridge Rehabilitation is a two-way vehicle and pedestrian bridge that crosses over the Metro North Hudson Line in Tarrytown, NY. It is nearly half a mile of elevated roadway deck and sidewalk. The steel members, concrete roadway, expansion joints, sidewalks and drains required rehabilitation. Extensive deterioration was found at steel columns and girders that required shoring and immediate repair.
EDG quickly opened up communication with the Village of Tarrytown and the Metro North Railroad to obtain a history of reports and construction to the bridge and roadway. They were kept informed of the status of all work to prevent any delays later in the project. EDG’s knowledge of material science and concrete and steel deterioration played a key role. Severely deteriorated steel was immediately identified and testing was performed on all steel showing evidence of deterioration.
In consideration of budget expenses, EDG assess priority phasing on nearly all of EDG’s restoration projects. With an experienced eye, EDG identifies immediate repairs, short-term repairs, and any long-term maintenance work required. Ultimately, over six million dollars of restoration work will be required, which will be performed over several years to work within the budget of the Village.
