Farewell to the Iconic Kosciuszko Bridge

On July 25, 2017, the iconic Kosciuszko Bridge was lowered onto a twin barge system, ready for its final journey to a scrap yard in New Jersey. The main span will be dismantled and recycled. Eight 500-t strand jacks worked in sync, lowered the 2400-ton main span of the 80 years old Kosciuszko Bridge in nine long hours. The entire operation was completed smoothly without a single glitch. Team of ironworkers from Queens and Brooklyn worked together with the management and engineering team of Skanska Kiewit and Ecco III, JV (SKE) for the past eight months in preparation for this moment.

UrbanTech is proud to be part of this team by acting as the Engineer of Record for the design of the strand jack lowering system used in this critical operation. With the completion of the removal of the old main span, it clears the way for the earlier start of the second phase of the project.
