Pennington Avenue Bascule Bridge Rehabilitation
Scope of Work
Cianbro is rehabilitating the Pennington Avenue Bascule Bridge over Curtis Creek in Baltimore, Maryland. The original contract included rehab of the main bascule bridge operating machinery, gearing, electrical and control equipment, lighting, and other miscellaneous repairs. The Owner issued an extra work change order that includes structural repairs, replacement of floor beams, purlins, deck grating, and painting of the entire bridge.

Unique Challenge
Cianbro installed seven 580 ft long submarine cables during a one week navigation channel closure. During a routine inspection, the team found that 1 of 8 of the trunnion bearings was cracked and needed replacement. The Owner issued a change order for the replacement. The team engineered the jacking system to jack the entire Southwest span of the bridge in order to remove the old two-ton bearing and install a new bearing.
