The Woodrow Wilson Bridge on I-95/I-495 (Capital Beltway) was replaced in three separate contracts.

Construction of the Virginia approach spans included approximately 670 m (2200 ft.) of dual roadway leading to the central bascule span. The bridge carries 12 lanes of traffic on twin decks.

The composite steel and concrete bridge deck is supported by concrete V-pier arches, which serve to reduce the superstructure span lengths and provide an aesthetically pleasing appearance that is consistent with the some of the historic crossings of the Potomac River. 

B&T's Scope of Work:

Buckland & Taylor Ltd. provided detailed construction engineering services for the concrete segmental V-piers of the Virginia approach spans, including erection sequence analysis and procedures, casting curves, geometry control, erection equipment design and review and approval of temporary shoring design.
