Attended a one-hour webinar on August 23, 2018. The webinar was focused on accelerated bridge construction
(ABC). It provided the latest news related to ABC nationwide and the featured presentation:

Use of SPMTs, Barges, and Strand Jacks to Build the Hastings, MN Bridge
Amber Blanchard, P.E., State Bridge Planning and Hydraulics Engineer, Minnesota Department of Transportation; Steve Kordosky, P.E., Hastings
Bridge Project Manager, Minnesota Department of Transportation; and Vincent Gastoni, P.E., Principal Bridge Engineer, Parsons

Description: The new Hastings, Minnesota Bridge is a 21st century landmark with a main span that boasts the longest free-standing tied-arch bridge in
North America. This crossing of the Mississippi River is a highly redundant and robust structure with an expected 100-year service life. The main span
was constructed on land on an adjacent staging area, moved onto barges with self-propelled modular transporters (SPMTs) and then guided downstream
on a flotilla of barges. It was then positioned into its pre-lift location using a skid system and connected to hydraulic strand jacks that lifted the span
vertically approximately 50 feet before making the final connection between the piers. This $130-million-dollar project was delivered on an accelerated
schedule using the competitive "design-build best value" contracting process. The presentation included design and construction details and lessons
learned.
