Manahawkin Bay Bridge

The Route 72 Causeway in Ocean County, New Jersey connects Long Beach Island with the mainland, carrying traffic over the Intracoastal Waterway on the Manahawkin Bay Bridge and three trestle bridges. The $90 million Route 72 Manahawkin Bay Bridge Project involves the construction of a new structure parallel to and south of the existing Manahawkin Bay Bridge, rehabilitation of the existing Manahawkin Bay Bridge, and the rehabilitation of three trestle bridges.

The Challenge:

• Designing and Creating Custom formwork for tapered radial pier stems and caps.

The Solution:

• Custom Steel Girder’s design allowed Schiavone to span large distances without any additional support or shoring. The forms are modular and can be ganged and picked in large sections increasing production time.
