MECHANICSBURG, Pa. – Modjeski and Masters has been selected for the 2018 Biennial Inspection of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge from the Delaware River Port Authority. This historic structure features a 1,750-foot main suspended span and is over 9,500 feet in total length.
As the prime consultant for this contract, Modjeski and Masters will perform a close visual hands-on inspection of the Benjamin Franklin Bridge facility in 2018. The goal is to update the condition of all fracture-critical members and fatigue-sensitive evaluations. Modjeski and Masters will also write a bridge-specific load rating manual for the bridge, as well as perform a subsequent load rating on the bridge according to that manual.
Modjeski and Masters will kick off the bridge inspections later this month and is scheduled to deliver the final report to DRPA in December 2018.
