The main span of a new bridge over the Ohio River was built on the riverbank and recently floated in by barge before being lifted into place as part of a new construction technique.
On April 26, Excell Marine, working with Dutch subcontractor Mammoet, moved the 830-foot bridge span using two tandem barges and towboats on each end, said Mike Witherow, District 6 construction engineer for the West Virginia Department of Highways.
“They were able to construct the arch fairly easily from the land, and then once they assembled the arch they were able to float a barge under each end of the assembly system in the yard,” he said.
