After two weeks of inspecting soil borings in Dighton, I am back in the office to get back to doing work. Yesterday was my first inspection in over two weeks and I could not have asked for a bridge in better condition. The two span continuous weathered steel girder bridge spanned over the Pawcatuck River in Westerly Rhode Island. To conduct the inspection we used a 62 foot Under Bridge vehicle (UB) to inspect the underside of the bridge (which can be seen in the previous post. The proposed Berkley-Dighton bridge will be a four span concrete arch, replacing the current steel truss posted at 3 ton.
