A trio over the Mullica River

28 January 2011 - New contracts - United States of America

Freyssinet Inc., Menard and Reinforced Earth Co. (RECo), three Soletanche Freyssinet (VINCI Construction) companies, are currently completing a project in Port Republic, New Jersey, to widen the bridge over the Mullica from 2x2 to 2x3 lanes.

Freyssinet Inc. was responsible for supplying, installing and tensioning 150 t of prestressing.

Menard and RECo, meanwhile, suggested an alternative design approach, leading to the creation of 3,700 sq. metres of Reinforced Earth® retaining walls, supplied by RECo, installed over 1,800 controlled modulus columns deployed by Menard.
The bridge is scheduled to open to traffic in the course of 2012.
