Pretty impressive

Sure most of the overpass is preconstructed, but the short interruption to traffic is impressive.


Must not have required any upgrades to the existing bridges foundation other than widening

On US 90 at LA 14 in New Iberia, LaDOTD will (hopefully) be replacing those bridges via horizontal slide like this.

The Tennessee Department of Transportation announced Monday the success of the first weekend of the Interstate 40 Fast Fix 8 bridge repair project by releasing a time-lapse video of the weekend work.

The one-minute clip shows crews working to finish the eastbound bridge over Jo Johnston Avenue in under 58 hours.

The impressive part was the time, not necessarily the technique



Does Nashville complete them in a weekend?

Don't misunderstand, people. It wasn't constructed in 48 hours. It was constructed long before they did the deconstruction and slide.
