Description
Description | The project involves the replacement of the westbound span of the Washington Bridge in Rhode Island. The construction team Barletta Heavy Division and Aetna Bridge, working as a joint venture, were involved in repair work after damage was discovered that forced the bridge's closure. The project faced issues due to alleged neglect by the Rhode Island Department of Transportation (RIDOT), which failed to perform recommended structural testing from a 1992 engineering report, leading to the bridge's demolition. |
