May 2023
Work in May focused on the South Bound Bridge Deck placement. CPM placed 324 CY of concrete. Using two pump trucks, a bid well, vibrators and hand tools, the concrete was placed using the pump trucks, vibrated and then finished with the bid well. All edges (where the bid well doesn’t reach) were finished by hand with hand tools. Once the concrete started to set, it was covered with wet burlap, plastic and weeper hoses and was kept wet for the seven-day curing period. All fabric, plastic and forms have now been removed.
