Project Details
- Owner: New York State Department of Transportation (Region 11)

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.
