Louis Berger is serving as l ead construction engineer or the largest sel-anchored
suspension bridge in the world: the $1.4 billion San Francisco-Oakland Bay Bridge.
The 700-meter-long deck system will consist o twin steel orthotropic box girders.
Construction requires the design o twin temporary steel trusses to support the box
girders during deck erection until loads are transerred to the suspension cables.
A 165-meter-high temporary steel erection tower was designed to erect the single
permanent steel suspension tower in our separate lits. The temporary trusses are
supported by seven steel rame towers, which were designed as state-o-the-art
eccentrically braced rames using steel box sections. The alsework will be in service
or a period o three to our years, a relatively long time or temporary structures.
Given the seismic risks in the Oakland Bay ar ea, the alsework was designed or
substantial seismic and vessel impact loading. Foundations or the towers were
designed in variable ground conditions. Foundation types included micropile
oundations on bedrock, cast-in-drilled hole concrete caissons and deep-driven
steel piles in sot marine clays in 25-meter-deep deep water. Fast-track design andconstruction was required to meet an aggressive schedule.
Under a separate contract, Louis Berger is also providing the camber calculations
or the bridge deck a nd developing the complex geometries or the main cables and
suspenders during each step o the erection.

spanning 27 meters between concrete pier walls. The new crane loads were supported
by integrating the existing girders with a reinorced concrete in-ll and installing
intermediate (precast concrete) pile bents to reduce the long spans. All three r egions othe deck were made continuous through a reinorced concrete deck topping.

LBG is the lead design rm on the Howland Piscataquis River Bridge Replacem
This $11 million project carries U.S. Route 116 (Con Street) over the Piscata
River. The project design includes replacement o the existing three-span steel
bridge with a new three-span, 582-oot long, haunched steel girder bridge to
food conditions, aesthetics and maintainability, and includes retaining wa lls
approach to minimize right-o-way impacts.
The replacement bridge is designed using AASHTO LRFD Bridge Design Spec
(2007 with interim revisions to 2009). Foundation design includes two mass p
situated in the Piscataquis River and designed or severe ice fow and hydrau
conditions including scour and extreme food conditions. Construction o the p
require coerdams and seals placed on bedrock in the river.
An extensive hydraulics analysis was conducted to provide the most cost-eec
design while still meeting the hydraulic design requirements. Due to the prese
conguration o the river and operation o the downstream dam, ten hydrauli
were considered to determine the most severe food and scour conditions at th
bridge. LBGs geotechnical engineers coordinated closely with the civil and hengineers to determine an optimal solution or scour pr otection and support o
and abutments. The analysis is complicated by the presence o a dam with re
1ashboards only 200 eet downstream o the proposed bridge.
Approximately 1,900 eet o roadway approach work is also required. The r

Washington State has invested more than 1.5 bill ion o state and ederal dollars in
reeway high-occupancy-vehicle (HOV) lanes and ramps over the past 40 years. These
special purpose lanes orm a crucial part o the central Puget Sound areas highway
system. Approximately 310 lane-miles o a planned 320-mile reeway system have
been built including the Interstate 5, State Route 526 to U.S. 2 lanes. To help eliminate
sudden lane changes and improve a major trac chokepoint on this stretch o
highway, BergerABAM teamed with the Atkinson-CH2M HILL joint venture design-build
team to widen the northbound and southbound reewa y lanes or the Washington State
Department o Transportation (WSDOT). The project included 10 miles o new HOV
lanes on I-5, as well as the widening o two bridges.
BergerABAM also provided the designs or construction o the bridge widenings.
The widenings increased the roadway deck width o the bridges by 28.0 eet
rom 48.0 eet to 76.0 eet. The East Bridge is 966 eet long and comprised o
nine spans; the West Bridge is 883 eet long and comprised o eight spans.
Recognized nationally as experts in earthquake engineering, BergerABAM engineersdevised a motion stabilizing solution that was readily a pproved by WSDOT. A unique
link slab design was incorporated into the two bridges to limit the eects o dierential
motion between the existing and new single-column piers during a seismic event. This
special earthquake resisting system reduced the contractors cost to build the bridges
as part o this $160 million project.

At 7,578 eet long, the State Route 520 Floating Bridge in Seattle, Washington, is the
longest foating bridge in the world. The nearl y 50-year-old structure is a critical link in
the state, carrying approximately 115,000 vehicles and more than 190,000 people
across Lake Washington daily. Given that the existing our-lane br idge is vulnerable
to congestion, as well as windstorms and ear thquakes, WSDOT recently initiated a
project to replace the structure. BergerABAM, as part o the Kiewit-General-Manson
joint venture, is serving as co-lead designer or the replacement project.
BergerABAM is responsible or the design o the foating bridge superstructure,
pontoon interaces, foating bridge anchors, transition spans, Pier 36 (the westernmost
pier), the east approach br idge, roadway tie-ins, and maintenance acility and
maintenance pier. The Team was also tasked to implement intelligent transportation
systems, electronic tolling, and other electrical and mechanical systems.
The replacement bridge, which is expected to be completed by late 2014, will eature
six lanes, including two general-purpose lanes and one high-occupancy-vehicle lane ineach direction, and a bicycle/pedestrian path on the north side. The structure was also
designed or the uture addition o one lane o high-capacity light rail transit in each
direction. The completed foating bridge will signicantly reduce travel times between
