GM2 worked with both the Vernon Historical Society and the State Historical Preservation Office to coordinate comprehensive design effort as well as construction engineering and inspection services for this historically significant bridge over the Tankerhoosen River in Vernon, CT.
The new bridge consists of a one-lane steel multi-beam bridge constructed above the refurbished historic truss to carry both vehicular and pedestrian traffic. New, cast-in-place concrete abutments were constructed behind the existing bridge abutments, therefore maintaining the existing clear channel opening and to minimize impacts to the wetlands and waterway.
