(York, PA) Wagman Heavy Civil is excited to announce that the Westbound Bay Bridge (US 50 /301) Deck Rehabilitation project received an Excellence in Concrete Construction Award by the American Concrete Institute’s (ACI) Maryland Chapter. The project, located in Queen Anne & Anne Arundel Counties, MD, received the award in the Repair & Restoration category during the chapter’s Excellence in Concrete Construction Awards Banquet on Thursday, November 21, 2024.
The $27M project for the Maryland Transportation Authority (MDTA) replaced the existing bridge deck surface with Latex Modified Concrete (LMC) on the right westbound lane on the William M. Preston Lane, Jr. Memorial Bay Bridge over the Chesapeake Bay. The project team worked with all stakeholders to accelerate and compress the schedule for the LMC work from two years to one, successfully opening the westbound lanes one year ahead of schedule. The project also included work associated with the roadway approaches, lane use signal gantry structures, deck repairs, bridge railing upgrades, joint replacements and deck sealant.
“I am extremely proud of our team for receiving this award,” states Greg Andricos, President and COO of Wagman Heavy Civil. “Wagman worked diligently with MDTA to accelerate and compress the schedule to reduce impacts to the traveling public on this highly traveled bridge. Our crews worked tirelessly to get the job done and they did it in record time.”
