Upgrading the Delair Bridge to Meet the Needs of the Future for Commerce
The Delair Bridge Span Replacement was a TIGER IIII project involving accelerated bridge construction methods applied to the upgrading of freight capacity of the Delair Bridge, spanning the Delaware River between New Jersey and Pennsylvania. The span replacement effort was logistically and procedurally complex. Through an integrated project management approach, the project’s planning, engineering, and construction management professionals worked collaboratively with federal and state agency staff, contractors, and Conrail staff to proactively identify obstacles and develop solutions that addressed the challenge without conflicting with prior authorizations or compromising future activity. In the field, substantial pre-outage preparation, including intensive coordination with bridge stakeholders, physical preparation of the structure, and pre-fabrication of the replacement spans, enabled span replacement to proceed smoothly and efficiently, with all work completed within each 72-hour outage. The Delair Bridge Span replacement project was completed one year ahead of schedule with more than $11M in total budget savings. This savings left more than $5M in federal cost share that was reallocated by USDOT to other critical freight rail infrastructure projects in South Jersey.
