Description: | An article in the April 17, 2012 edition of the New York Times, entitled "Did Someone Order an Instant Bridge", describes how the Massachusetts DOT used accelerated bridge construction (ABC) techniques to replace the River Street Bridge in Boston over one weekend. MassDOT used self-propelled modular transporters to move the prefabricated new bridge into place, with work beginning on Friday evening and completed by Sunday afternoon. This project is one of numerous ABC projects for MassDOT, which replaced 14 bridges on Interstate 93 in 2011 over 10 weekends. |
