PROJECT OVERVIEW

Van Wyck Expressway Widening – Atlantic Avenue Bridge Replacement

Capacity & Access Improvements to JFK Airport

The Van Wyck Expressway (VWE) is the main vehicle route from NYC to JFK Airport. This phase of the design-build project includes lengthening bridges over the VWE to accommodate future widening of the expressway. GEODesign was retained by Halmar International to provide support of excavation (SOE) designs for replacement of the Atlantic Avenue Bridge over the VWE.

Van Wyck Expressway Widening – Atlantic Avenue Bridge Replacement

PHASE 2

In order to maintain traffic during the replacement of the Atlantic Avenue Bridge over the Van Wyck Expressway (VWE), the bridge replacement took place in 3 stages. In each stage, a portion of the bridge would be demolished and replaced prior to the start of the subsequent stage. Detailed coordination was required to design an SOE system that avoided utilities and allowed for maintenance of traffic in along the existing bridge, the VWE, and the VWE access roads.
