Construction of the James River Bridge Project
This paper describes the James River Bridge Project and the more important details of its construction. This being a toll bridge and involving a large outlay, it was necessary to make a careful investigation of probable expenditures to determine the soundness of the investment. The item of cost most difficult to predetermine was that of the concrete pile foundation work, due to the soft clay bottom of the James River. A description is given of the general plan of operation of the work from a main base where materials were assembled. The methods of casting, handling, and driving the large concrete piles are outlined, as well as other details of the work in the field. Actual load tests on piles which did not drive to refusal furnished interesting data in regard to their carrying capacity.
