Challenges Solved
The I-278 Goethals Bridge, built in the 1920’s, spans the Arthur Kill River connecting Elizabeth, New Jersey with Staten Island. The replacement is a cable-stayed bridge with six 12-foot wide lanes, a future rail corridor, and a combined walkway/bikeway.
Working for the Kiewit-Weeks-Massman Joint Venture, MRCE designed two 1,000 foot long trestles, cofferdams, and an access road through marginal land to support construction of the replacement bridge.
