Deep cofferdams and pumpcrete whip tough mystic river piers
11,900 ft steel truss roadway bridge in Boston, Mass, divided into 800 ft center span and two cantilevers, 362 ft each; foundation of south pier running 83 ft to bedrock endangered wood piles of adjacent old bridge and necessitated careful procedure; excavation inside cofferdam performed by siphon; concrete was placed by tremie pour; concreting up to 132 ft above water by pumpcreting; construction stages shown.
