Mr. Pradhan. The process takes place
over four weekends, he said, with milling
and paving work done at night.
The $11 million Stratford bridge
project, U.S. Route 1 over the Metro-North
Railroad, marked the first time AI put ABC
to work on a geosynthetic reinforced
soil-integrated bride system (GRS-IBS). The
three-span structure, which sees about
18,000 cars a day, will be replaced with
a single span with four lanes of traffic.
To reduce traffic disruptions, AI will
design soil abutments to be constructed
while the bridge is still in place. When the
soil reaches a certain height, the existing
bridge will be removed, said Mr. Prad

han. The new span being built alongside
will then be placed onto the new GRS-IBS.
"It's a multi-stage construction," said Mr.
Pradhan, "but construction time will be min-
imized with plenty of motorist notice and
advanced signage posting along the way."
