TORONTO — An Acrow modular steel bridge installed at the junction of Autoroutes 520 and 13 in Montreal is providing access for relocated utilities during the project to reconstruct the Autoroute 520 overpass.
The international bridge engineering and supply company is providing the bridge for the project on Autoroute 13, a major north-south freeway in the Montreal urban region and the main link to Ville de Laval.
At the interchange with Autoroute 520, the six-lane route is heavily travelled, making a rapid installation of the temporary structure a priority, states a release.
The Acrow bridge was purchased by the Ministère des Transports et de la Mobilité durable (MTMD). It’s 57.91 metres long with an interior width of 3.96 metres and features a wooden deck to allow access for maintenance crews. It was assembled and launched in a single weekend with minimal traffic disruption and will support the utilities for the duration of the overpass reconstruction, which is expected to last two years. The bridge will then be disassembled and stored for use on future MTMD projects.
The contractor on the project is Construction Génix, with design engineering through a joint venture consortium between EXP and WSP.
