Bridge construction and rehabilitation is our core business at Halverson Construction Co., Inc. After nearly three decades in this industry, we have become one of the Midwest's leaders in bridge construction and rehabilitation for highway, railroad and major river bridges.

Construction of the new 1,730 foot long, 5-span southbound bridge carrying Illinois Route 47 over the Illinois River at Morris, Illinois. The project included: construction of four new river piers with caisson shafts to bedrock; over 1,200 cubic yards of new substructure concrete; 1,850 cubic yards of bridge deck concrete; approximately 750,000 pounds of reinforcing steel; and over 5.6 million pounds of new structural steel. General Contractor.

Phase I: Construction of a nine span steel plate girder bridge, lighting, approach pavement. Halverson submitted forming and striping plans to coordinate clearance, and minimize impact to river traffic.
Phase II. Removal of existing steel truss bridge and erosion control. Coordination with Coast Guard & Lockmaster to shut down barge traffic during bridge removal.

Removal and replacement of the existing concrete deck; structural steel replacement; new bridge rails, bridge lighting, bearing replacement, cleaning and painting of structural steel; guardrail replacement and substructure repairs.
Using the overhead crane system, the project continued through flooding. This project was also completed thirty days ahead of schedule and thus earning a maximum incentive bonus. (A joint venture with Midwest Foundation Corp).

Removal and replacement of the existing concrete deck, structural steel below the deck, concrete substructure repairs. Additional work included bearing repairs, cleaning & painting of structural steel and approach work.
Halverson used an innovative method to support the suspended truss section while the pin and links were reworked and replaced. This allowed the use of the overhead crane system to continue to run throughout the truss while this work was being done. These methods allowed the project to be completed 30 days ahead of schedule.

Using the specialized overhead crane system, Halverson developed an innovative jacking and cribbing plan, and executed a thorough work plan, allowing the project to be completed 150 days ahead of schedule — earning Halverson the largest incentive payment ever made by IDOT.

Halverson worked closely with the local Chamber of Commerce to keep the local merchants informed on the progress of the project. Using the overhead crane system, the project continued through periods of high water. This allowed Halverson to complete this project thirty days ahead of schedule.
