We removed an existing bridge deck and replaced it with a new NU1600 super structure, which required the implementation of a temporary bridge spanning Salt Creek during construction. We also removed and replaced RCP pipes with new inlets and excavated into a levee critical area. Temporary measures such as crane mats and battered pile surveys were used to avoid hitting a large utility near the work zone. A temporary sidewalk was used to ease the impact to the local community. We met a tight project schedule, which was necessary to accommodate Husker football traffic.
Project Quantities:
• 2,240 sq yards of 9-inch doweled paving (754 sq yards hand placed; 1,486 sq yards machine placed)
• 11,377 sq feet of sidewalk and bike trail
