I-80 1300 East Bridge Demolition and Slide Timelapse

I-80 in SLC is now open (and they got done early!) Take a peek at what we’ve been doing the last couple days. Our crews demolished the existing 1300 East bridge over I-80 and slid in a brand new one the very next day. The new bridge was constructed next to the old one, and was slid in using an innovative method of bridge work (called Accelerated Bridge Construction) that was pioneered in Utah and reduces delays and traffic restrictions for drivers. Our contractor, Ralph L Wadsworth Construction, slid the bridge approximately 110 feet, making it one of the longest bridge slides performed in Utah. The 1300 East bridge was originally built in the early 1960s and was due for replacement. The new bridge is 175 feet long and 172 feet wide, with a new 17-foot-wide trail on the east side and a new sidewalk on the west side. It will provide a smoother ride for drivers and will enhance safety for people who walk and bike.
