New York Construction News 2002 Award of Merit: Bridge Project

The 2002 Award of Merit: Bridge Project was awarded to Crosswicks Creek Bridge, As seen in New York Construction News:

“Supporting both light rail transit and freight use, the new bridge replaced an existing timber trestle structure that was in poor condition. In addition to this, the project team satisfied the community's concern with historical preservation. This was done by providing a bridge that resembles the original wood trestle structure while upgrading the freight train loading capacity and satisfying the current seismic design criteria. The jury said, "the project team successfully implemented an alternative solution to the challenge of unavailable timber trestles. There were also many structural challenges the team overcame and they successfully integrated the bridge as part of the community.”
