Project Overview

Role: Design-Build Services

M&J Engineering D.P.C. (M&J), as part of a team, performed independent construction inspection services for quality control of this design-build project, which provided improved access between the Hunts Point Peninsula and Sheridan Boulevard and the Bruckner Expressway. The project addressed structural and operational deficiencies. Major items included:

A new ramp to Edgewater Road, providing access to the Hunts Point peninsula from the eastbound Bruckner Expressway via the Exit 49 ramp to northbound Sheridan Boulevard.
New ramps to and from Edgewater Road, providing access to the Hunts Point peninsula from Sheridan Boulevard.
Pedestrian bridge replacement at Bryant Avenue and Bruckner Boulevard, replacing existing superstructure, substructure, and related appurtenances (span 1 and pier 1) with a new superstructure (spans 1 and 2), substructure, and related appurtenances (such as railing, lighting, and sidewalk).
Two bridge superstructure replacements and widening the existing westbound truss bridge and eastbound bridge over Amtrak/CSX, with provision for three continuous lanes on the Bruckner Expressway.
Ramp relocation for the eastbound entrance ramp by Whittier Street to the east of the bascule bridge over the Bronx River.
The Bruckner Expressway bridge over Bronx River Avenue will be rehabilitated, widened, and select spans replaced with on-grade pavement section.
Construction of a shared-use path for pedestrians and bicyclists connecting Garrison Park and Concrete Plant Park, which includes a railroad crossing and a new underpass.
Local intersection improvements, with pedestrian access components.
Milling and resurfacing along Edgewater Road from Halleck Street to Bruckner Boulevard.
Milling and resurfacing Bruckner Boulevard (eastbound and westbound) from Wheeler Ave to the Bascule Bridge.
