Washington Bridge Replacement Project

planned

A 7-step plan proposed by Laszlo Siegmund, a retired engineer involved in the original Washington Bridge design, to reduce costs and expedite the replacement of the westbound span of the Washington Bridge. The plan includes halting demolition to assess and potentially reuse the existing substructure, hiring an engineer familiar with the bridge for assessment, conducting a design competition for a new superstructure, and renegotiating contracts to facilitate efficient construction and project management.
