Thames River Bridge - CT
Amtrak’s Thames River Bridge was completely refurbished utilizing WireCo Structures structural strand. The two-track structure, spanning the Thames River between New London and Groton, Connecticut, was originally constructed in 1919, replacing the original span constructed in 1889. This major renovation of the bridge transformed the railway structure from a draw bridge to a vertical-lift mechanism. To accomplish this feat we provided a total of 72 assemblies for the renovation project. Eight of the assemblies were 1 7/8” 6 x 25 IPS FC and 64 assemblies using 2 1/4” 6 x 25 IPS FC. All assemblies were pre-stretched, striped and measured under load with the lengths stamped onto each socket. Length tolerance requirements were +/- 1/4 inch.
