The Franklin Avenue Bridge
Since the historic Franklin Avenue Bridge was built in 1923, it has served as a vital link between neighborhoods in Minneapolis and St. Paul. The 1050 ft (320 m) long, five-span, open-spandrel concrete arch structure is supported on readily accessible bedrock, and it efficiently spans the Mississippi River between the high bluffs on either side. The bridge's original spandrels, deck, and railings were replaced during a major renovation in 1970. By coupling ABC techniques with prefabricated bridge elements and systems (PBES) that included cap beams, deck panels, and ornamental rail panels, the replacement of the superstructure was completed during a 116-day closure. Planning is paramount to the success of ABC projects, and it requires that all contractual parties are brought to the table. Each operation must be worked out in fine detail; potential issues must be resolved, as much as possible; and contingency plans must be put in place to ensure construction continues when an operation does not proceed as planned.
