Bridge No. 02668 carries Route 140 over Charters Brook in Ellington, a few minutes from our shop. For CTDOT, Gerber replaced the structure as prime contractor.
We installed a cofferdam and handled the brook through the work, made the mass cut, set the sheeting and placed the new precast structure. As prime we also carried the cast-in-place concrete and the roadway rebuild and paving over the top. State bridge work on a live road, with the water running the whole time.
