| Abstract: |
The Kosciuszko Bridge (K-Bridge) is a new pair of independent cable stayed bridge that cross Newtown Creek, connecting the New York City boroughs of Brooklyn and Queens. This paper focuses on the erection engineering challenges of constructing the new Phase 2 cable stayed bridge, which is located in a dense urban environment. The challenges include: close proximity to the completed Phase 1 Bridge, the presence of Newtown Creek, limited site access at ground level, and the need for complex temporary supports that avoid the foundation remnants of the original 1931 bridge during construction. |
