Reconstruction of Jamaica Avenue Bridge over I-678 Van Wyck Expressway The Roll-in/Roll Out Method.
Our client had asked to design and provide a sixteen point Synchronous Jacking System to both rain and remove the existing bridges spanning over the I678.
Then the existing bridges placed on a set of rollers and pushed off to the side so that it could be demolished and taken away, using the same sixteen point Synchronous Jacking System.

The new bridge was then placed on rollers and rolled into positioning then using the Synchronous Jacking System was lowered into place.
This was done for both bridges on I 678. The Jamaica Avenue bridge and Hillside Avenue bridge job was a big success. See the letter from the client.
