In a major showcase of Accelerated Bridge Construction (ABC), project partners successfully executed a complex lateral bridge slide, restoring highway traffic a full week ahead of the planned timeline. Engineered by HDR with primary structural steel components fabricated to exacting tolerances by Veritas Steel, the new structure was assembled adjacent to the alignment, lifted via heavy hydraulic jacks onto temporary sliding support towers, and smoothly glided into place. The project demonstrates the efficiency, safety, and reduced community impact made possible through close collaboration between structural fabricators and field engineering teams.
