Recently Completed: Interstate 64 Bridge Maintenance, Albemarle County

This project was completed on time on May 8, 2020. 

Under the same construction contract, VDOT contractor Curtis Contracting, Inc. of West Point rehabilitated three bridges on Interstate 64 in Albemarle County:

1. Eastbound bridge over Route 20 (mile marker 121) 
2. Westbound bridge over Route 20 (mile marker 121) 
3. Eastbound bridge over Route 29 (mile marker 118)

Crews performed a hydro demolition of each bridge deck and applied a latex overlay. Hydro demolition involves using high-pressure water jets to remove deteriorated concrete to create a better bonding surface for the overlay. 

The work was accomplished via extended weekend lane closures. 

Benefits 

The purpose of this project is to rehabilitate the bridge decks on three bridge in Albemarle County to extend the service life and provide a smoother ride for motorists.
