Pocahontas Parkway Bridge Over James River
Pocahontas Parkway Bridge Over James River
Project Description
The Pocahontas Parkway Bridge also known as the Rt. 895 Bridge spans over the James River south of Richmond, VA.
The bridge features a 672-foot main span with 145 feet of vertical clearance for marine traffic. The bridge also includes nearly 3500 feet of high-level approach spans and three high-level ramp structures.
The main span and back spans were constructed using the cast-in-place segmental balanced cantilever method with form travelers. The approaches and ramps were constructed using precast segmental method and erected with an overhead self-launching gantry.
This bridge features a combination of pre-cast and cast-in-place, post-tensioned segmental concrete structures, and a conventional cast-in-place deck supported by steel plate girders.
Kline provided construction engineering support for all aspects of the post-tensioning as well as engineering for segment casting in the casting yard. Kline also provided construction engineering support for the cast-in-place form travelers
