Composite bridge systems and structural components specialist AIT Bridges, a division of Advanced Infrastructure Technologies (AIT, Brewer, Maine, U.S.) announced on January 5 that the Grist Mill Bridge, located on Route 1A in Hampden, Maine, has reopened after replacement of its former bridge span with composite beams from AIT Bridges.
The company says the bridge’s former span was constructed in 1950 and comprised three bridges built one on top of the another. It has been replaced with a new span consisting of five composite beams manufactured at AIT Bridge’s Brewer, Maine facility. The technology was developed in cooperation with The University of Maine’s Advanced Structures and Composites Center.
