| | Coleman Bridge Replacement |  | This double-leaf swing span over the York River is the second longest in the world. Although procured by VDOT under traditional design-bid build procedures, Tidewater Skanska managed a significant engineering effort that allowed for construction of six 77-foot wide bridge spans to be prefabricated 30 miles downstream in the Hampton Roads.
In May 1996 during a 12-day scheduled bridge closure, the existing bridge was lifted and removed by barges utilizing an elaborate pumping system then existing spans were replaced with the new spans. The bridge was open to the public three days ahead of schedule. The project received six construction/design awards and was featured on the July 8, 1996 ENR cover. Tidewater Skanska was also responsible for providing the toll collection system as part of the VDOT contract. | | Client:
