Abstract:

This US$339M design-build project includes replacement of a 2.6 kilometer long bridge over Biloxi Bay connecting the gulf coast communities of Biloxi and Ocean Springs, Mississippi that was destroyed by hurricane Katrina. The majority of the design was completed in just 6 months to allow the roadway to be opened to 1 lane of traffic in each direction by November 2007, only 18 months from notice to proceed. The entire project was completed by April 2008. This paper will focus on the strategies implemented to reconstruct the bridge in response to the disaster and reopen the bridge as quickly as possible.
