I-74 Over Salt Fork Vermilion River Super-Structure Replacement

Essential construction inspection helps the Illinois Department of Transportation deliver roadways with high integrity and reliability.

Ardmore Roderick assisted with the revitalization of the seven-span steel beam bridges over the Salt Fork Vermilion River by ensuring their structural integrity and safety. Meticulous oversight of the 750-foot-long bridge ensured that every phase of the superstructure replacement and bridge upgrades met the highest standards, enhancing the bridges’ durability and safety for future use. In addition to repairing existing piers and new pier caps, new steel was set and followed by a new concrete deck. Additional improvements included paving, guardrail removal and replacement, earthwork, rip-rap placement, seeding and mulch, pavement marking, and raised reflective pavement markers.
