The Sherman Minton Renewal is a major bridge rehabilitation and painting project that will significantly extend the life of the 59-year-old bridge. The double-decked bridge carries six lanes of traffic (I-64 and US 150) over the Ohio River connecting Louisville, KY and New Albany, IN. The project includes replacement or rehabilitation of all bridge decks, rehabilitation or replacement of structural steel elements and hanger cables, installation of new lighting, repairs to drainage and painting of the steel components. The long-term repairs, along with normal preventative maintenance, will add up to 30 years of life to this bridge.
As a subconsultant to the Design-Build Team, M&M is performing load rating and final design for hanger replacement and structural steel repairs for Arch and truss spans. M&M is also performing vibration testing of the hanger cables to determine the existing dead load in the existing hanger cables.
