Presentation:
MILTON-MADISON Bridge Foundation Reuse, Indiana DOT, Kentucky
The Milton-Madison Bridge is one of two Ohio River bridges between Cincinnati and Louisville. Michael Baker International explored the possibility of replacing the bridge superstructure on its existing piers and developed a sophisticated 3D model and finite-element analysis to assess the stability of the soil, bedrock, caissons and piers. This advanced analysis and modeling proved the feasibility of reuse of the existing piers. Replacing the superstructure on the existing piers, instead of constructing a new bridge on a new alignment, saved an estimated $50 million and reduced construction time by four to five years. The bridge superstructure was replaced on the existing piers, using accelerated bridge construction techniques for lateral bridge sliding, allowing the bridge to remain open to traffic for all but 41 days during construction.
