Span 14 bridge deck construction begins

June 9, 2016

Hello again,

The St. Croix Crossing project has reached another construction milestone: Span 14 bridge deck construction is underway.

Span 14 stretches from Pier 13 to the east abutment on the Wisc. bluff. The contractor is using a ringer crane near the shoreline to lift each box-like segment onto a temporary rail system that moves the segment to its spot in the bridge deck sequence. Crews will use epoxy and post-tensioned cables to connect the segments, similar to the process used on the water.
