Logansport, Indiana :: Norfolk & Southern Railroad :: Wabash River Bridge
Replacement of the Norfolk & Southern Railway bridge over the Wabash River. Modification of existing substructure; temporary false work for new construction; rolling out of the existing truss bridge; roll-in the new superstructure; controlled demolition.
Halverson used an extensive false work system to roll out the old three span structure, and roll in the new four span structure. The roll-out/roll-in method was accomplished using hydraulic cylinders designed by Halverson to synchronize the pull of the different spans. The roll-out/roll-in was completed several hours ahead of schedule to facilitate rail traffic.
