Crane part of Seminary Road bridge project in Alexandria
At Seminary Road and I-395 near the Mark Center, this 150-foot crane will be the work horse of a multi-tiered Virginia Department of Transportation project that is underway.
This fall, the crane will be used to begin demolition of the old Seminary Road bridge, extracting beam and deck sections, and then placing new beams to rebuild the bridge.
Early in 2015, the crane will lift the beams for the Interstate 395 HOV Ramp, which will link the I-395 HOV lanes to Seminary Road. Concurrently, it will be used to place beams for the new pedestrian bridge that will span both the northbound and southbound lanes of I-395.
The crane will be dismantled by late 2015 when the improvements are completed.
