This project plans to build two new parallel cast-in-place segmental bridges to replace the current steel deck truss bridge that was built in 1953.
Fay is in the design phase of a progressive design-build project that will increase the clearance of the Howard Street Tunnel from 19 to 21 feet to permit the safe passage of double-stack trains.
As a subcontractor, Fay performed the demolition of the 1306 ft long Frederick Douglass Memorial Bridge and approaches. Much of the work was performed via a 150-ton barge-based crane and a specialty barge crane. The bridge was removed by sawing and lifting the deck in segments and burning and lifting the steel.
Fay was contracted for the removal and replacement of existing lift gates 9 and 10 at the Montgomery Lock and Dam. When complete, the work at Montgomery will address reliability concerns by replacing the aging and deteriorated auxiliary chamber with a new primary chamber.
Fay recently upgraded Berth 3 of Seagirt Marine Terminal to meet the requirements of post Panamax ships that call on the port and accommodate bigger ships.
