Construction Costs of New England Bridges
The annual Federal Highway Administration (FHWA) survey of bridge costs indicates that between 1985 and 1993 construction costs of New England bridges averaged $108 per square foot. This is 74 percent greater than the national average of $62 per square foot for the same period. The objectives of this study were: (1) to determine the validity of the FHWA survey results, and if they are valid; (2) to identify the cause(s) for this large difference in units costs; and (3) to recommend ways to reduce New England bridge construction costs. Seventeen factors that influence bridge costs were identified and examined, nine of these factors were found to have the most effect on high bridge costs in New England. The remaining factors, while significantly affecting bridge costs in general, do not cause appreciably higher bridge costs in New England. The study quantified potential cost reductions represented by these factors and makes recommendations for reducing the cost of New England bridges.
