Replacement of the North Ohio Avenue Bridge over Venice Lagoon
About the Project
RVE provided construction management / construction inspection services for the replacement of N. Ohio Avenue Bridge over Venice Lagoon in Atlantic City, New Jersey. Work performed under this contract consisted of the staged demolition and removal of an existing seven span, steel stringer bridge with reinforced concrete deck, sidewalk and three bar parapet superstructure, along with a timber substructure comprised of timber pier bents, abutments and associated approach roadways. The new staged construction of a five span bridge consisted of new reinforced concrete abutments supported by reinforced concrete pipe pile foundations, installation of concrete filled pipe pile bents with reinforced concrete caps, prestressed concrete slab beams, reinforced concrete deck slab, reinforced concrete sidewalk, concrete parapet walls and new aluminum chain-link fence. The reconstruction of the approach roadway included the construction of permanent steel sheet pile walls, drainage improvements, new concrete curb, concrete sidewalk, concrete reinforced driveways, ADA curb ramps, beam guide rail, bituminous concrete pavement, utility relocations, landscaping improvements, new traffic signage, new traffic striping for enhanced pedestrian and vehicular safety. Additional work was completed to alleviate flooding and erosion control at the four corners of the abutments due to elevation differences with neighboring properties.

The old bridge was demolished and newly constructed in two stages, with one lane of the bridge always open/accessible, since this was the only vehicular and pedestrian route into the western portion of the Venice Park neighborhood
After construction of the new bridge, additional Scour Protection Measures were added to alleviate flooding and erosion at the four corners of the abutments
This vital bridge project, funded by state and local aid, was completed ahead of schedule.
