Eggner’s Ferry Bridge: Innovative Approach to the Emergency Replacement of a Vital Crossing over Kentucky Lake

摘要

The collision of a cargo ship with Eggner’s Ferry Bridge knocking out a 322 feet truss spans. This paperfocuses on the design strategy and opportunities to speed-up material procurement, simplifyfabrication and assembly. Accelerated construction techniques are also presented in this paper. TheEggner’s Ferry Bridge emergency replacement project that completed in 17 weeks is the benchmark forspeedy emergency repair and replacement of structures that are closed to traffic by accidents ordisasters.
