L.B. Foster will also provide 2500 ft2 of 7-ft-wide decking for the drawbridge's sidewalks. The decking will be manufactured at the company's Fabricated Bridge Products facility in Bedford, Pa., and delivered ready to install with concrete precasted into the panels.
"The grid decking reinforces the precast concrete to form a composite material that takes advantage of the best properties of both the concrete and steel," said Mike Riley, Sales and Marketing Manager of L.B. Foster's Fabricated Bridge Products group.
This City of New York DOT bridge rehabilitation project is being funded with stimulus money from the American Recovery and Reinvestment Act. Judlau Contracting, Inc. of College Point, N.Y., is the project general contractor.
