Old Cooper River Bridge Coming Down

摘要

Testa Corp. headquartered in Lynnfield, MA, is currently dismantling and disposing of the two Cooper River Bridges located in Charleston, SC. The bridges that are being demolished are the Grace Memorial Bridge, which was built in 1929, and the Silas Pearman Bridge, which was built in 1966. The bridges that are each 2.7 miles long were considered functionally obsolete. They were replaced by the Arthur Ravenal Bridge, which is considered to be the longest cable stay bridge in North America. The new bridge has a vertical clearance of 180 ft above water level compared to 150 ft for the Grace and Pearman, which are being demolished.
