Brooklyn, NY

Project Details

  • Owner: New York State Department of Transportation (Region 11)
  • Contractor: Skanska-Kiewit-ECCO III
  • Designer: HNTB
  • Completion Date: 2016
  • Scope: 284 Deck Panels, T-WALL®, High Performance Concrete

Project Overview

Fort Miller was hired to manufacture the replacement deck panels and retaining wall for the replacement of the Kosciuszko Bridge (K-Bridge) (I-278, Brooklyn-Queens Expressway) over Newtown Creek in Brooklyn-Queens, New York City.

For the largest New York State Department of Transportation Design-Build contract ever awarded, Fort Miller fabricated (284) main span precast concrete bridge deck panels in addition to over 135,000 SF of the T-WALL® retaining wall (large block and small block) units with a special vertical ribbed formliner finish. As can be seen in the photos, the T-WALL® made up the abutments as the stems were integrated around the piles with no fit-up issues. We also provided precast concrete bridge components for the Morgan Avenue Bridge, which was made part of the overall K-Bridge project. The specifications for this project required a 100-year life span, which was achieved by utilizing stainless steel reinforcement and a 9,700-PSI high performance concrete mix.
